Cliford, In general if you run with robotic tape interfaces with VM:Backup using VM:Tape you want to turn off RESERVE for tape drives ... the robotic systems needs to be able to choose the best available drive at the time of each mount request. RESERVE ON is the default. Chech your VMBACKUP CONFIG file for a RESERVE record ... again RESERVE ON is the default, so if you don't find one you are running with RESERVE ON. Add or change the record to RESERVE OFF. JR Imler CA, Inc.
