Yes, back in the 3.4 days I saw this caused by both Compaq Insight Manager and HP EMS (on HPUX servers).  I don't know if the Microsoft's RSM service would do the same, as I always turn it off.   But as Jack says, SCSI RESERVE should fix the problem.  Cheers, Dean  On 1/17/06, Jack L.

I take it that since your tape drives are on a SAN, they are being shared by multiple hosts? The "external event caused rewind" suggests that while one server was performing a backup, another host that can see the drives did a SCSI inquiry or some other command to the drive which caused it to
