    Hi guys

    i have just configured a NT backup. to run daily.

    I have 5 brand new tapes.
    I configured bacup and assuming backup should work, but its not, its failing everyday. IT says media failed to mount please check media.

    Do i have to add the tape to NT backups library? if so how?

    Btw the tape names used are liek dates and media created...and so on

    If i manualy run the schedule it asks me if i want to write to media and asks me for confirmation.

    Am i doing something wrong?

    Hi checkmate!

    Maybe you should first add your tapes to a new Media Pool here: Computer Management\Storage\Removable Storage\Media Pools.
