Help needed.

Backup Exec 8.6, Windows 2000 and Stand alone tape drives.

I need to check that each server has had the tape loaded prior to starting the backup job. Is this possible to do?

If the tape label doesnt appear in the tape drive - try an inventory if it still doesnt appear (or if unrecognised /bad media doesnt appear) the tape drive is probably empty.

There is no real easy way of doing this.

Cheers

I was hoping for an automated process as the tapes are loaded by Operator's during the night who do not access to the console.
