I'm having an issue where whenever I insert a tape into the storageworks drive it reads the tape for aprox 30 seconds. Then as soon as it's finished reading the tape, it ejects the tape. I think this is more of a tape issue since i've stopped all the backup exec services and still get the same problem.

Any help or insight is appreciated. Thanks!

System Configuration:
Windows NT sp 4
Backup Exec 8.6
 
Hi,
A couple of things to check...
1. Check if there is a job active waiting for a tape.
2. Check the tape overwrite protection settings... (media set)

If the job loads the tape but can't write to it - it will spit it out wanting a writeable media. (will also raise an alert)
