A customer’s NT network is experiencing problems using SBS NT Backup with a Seagate STT8000 8GB Travan Tape on a SCSI controller. The data compression does not work. I’ve tried manually running B/U but the NTBACKUP Backup Information Dialog Box doesn’t allow me to select hardware compression. I’ve tried to run the B/U from the SBS scheduler using a batch file, including the switch /hc:on but the 8 GB tapes only accept 4 GB then request a new tape. I’ve installed the most up-to-date driver downloaded from the Seagate web site. The SCSI ID of the drive is 4. It is properly terminated. The tapes are new.
