Veritas Backup Exec, v.bnt86idrv36253800, A01. Device Driver Installer (20021215) - Includes Tape Driver Release (20021101) and Robotic Library. Hi all, Still struggling to get to grips with BE2012, this time with tape library options. We have an HP MSL2024 robotic library which contains 2 drives. If I look at the License summary screen on the BE server it shows that we have 'library expansion option' and 'virtual tape library unlimited driv. As for the multiple Veritas drivers questions. The tape drive was first installed with a Quantum driver with the Veritas 9.1 backup software. After the first failure with an I/O error, a call to Quantum tech support resulted with Quantum indicating that since Veritas is being used, I needed to install the Veritas driver for the tape drive.

Important Notice
The information and instructions contained within this document are specific to BackupAssist v3.x.x. While some of this information will be valid for other versions of BackupAssist we do not support the application of any steps or suggestions on versions other than v3.x.x
Introduction
BackupAssist will use any standalone tape drive that is supported by the Windows operating system.
This White Paper explains how to ensure that BackupAssist will run with your hardware.
Other Backup Software
If other backup software products are installed, they may prevent BackupAssist from working. Many products including Veritas BackupExec, CA Arcserve and Yosemite Tapeware will actually uninstall the standard Windows drivers for your tape drive, and install their own. This prevents other software from working. Please uninstall these products before using BackupAssist.Installing the Windows Drivers
Most tape drives will be automatically detected by Windows and installed. However, you should also ensure that the latest versions of the drivers are installed - most tape drives come with a CD of Windows Drivers. Please install these drivers from this CD. Alternatively, you can download the latest versions of the drivers from the manufacturer's websites.Verify Your Setup
To verify your setup, check that your tape drive is listed in the Device Manager by following these instructions.Please note: The screenshots were created on Windows XP, and vary slightly across operating systems.
- Go into Control Panel > System
- Click the Device Manager button on the Hardware tab, as shown.
- Expand the Tape drives tree to show your tape drive
- Right click on the tape drive and select Properties. You will see a window that should state that your tape drive is working properly.

Ensure Your Tape Drive Is Enabled
The next step is to enable your tape drive. Some software packages will disable your tape drive, so following these steps will enable it again.- Go into Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management
- Expand the tree called Storage > Removable Storage > Libraries. Your tape drive will now be visible, as shown in the screenshot below.
- Right click on the tape drive, and select Properties. Ensure the Enable drive checkbox is checked, as shown in the screenshot below.
Run Windows Backup
The final step is to run the Windows Backup program and ensure that your tape drive is detected.- Do this by going to the Start Menu > Accessories > System Tools > Backup
- If the Backup or Restore Wizard appears, click on Advanced Mode as shown below.
- Click the Backup tab as shown below, and under Backup destination, your tape drive format should appear. In the example, a DDS 3 tape drive has been installed, so the Backup destination is 4mm DDS.
Setting Up BackupAssist
Now that you have confirmed that your tape drive is working, BackupAssist should automatically detect your hardware.
Under the Options tab, the Device and Media pool settings should be automatically detected. Simply click the down arrow for each drop down list, and your hardware will be detected and listed.
