Hello Michael,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that the "Select a New Tape
Changer" was not available in Server Management\Backup. If I have
misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Based on my research, the link "Select a New Tape Changer" may not be
present if the data of the registry value "Backup Location" is not set to
1.

I suggest we try the following steps to see if we can resolve this issue:

1. Open Registry Editor,

2. Locate the registry key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SmallBusinessServer\Backup,

3. Check the registry value "Backup Location" in the right pane.

4. If it's set to 2, double-click it and change the data to 1.

5. Click Ok to finish.

Then check if you can see the "Select a New Tape Changer" link in Server
Management\Backup.

Hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu(MSFT)
