Is there a plug-in or add-on available to get an OnStream SC30 to work with ArcServe. I have recently started using the SC30 tape drive and its great - fast and reliable - but find that the Echo software that shipped with it is quite spartan. I use ArcServe elsewhere and love it. Can I use both these products together?

I had a similar issue. I wanted to get my Onstream DI30 drive to run with Backup-Exec but was told this will not work.
If you stop the Echo service you will get a blue screen. There is one other vedor that supports these drives and I forgot what they are called. This information can be found out by calling Onstream support.

For Arcserve to see an Onstream Drive, you need to have the latest update for Arcserve. I just finished an SC50 with AS and it took support with Onstream to finally find the correct update. The absolute best way to to use an Onstream with AS is tobuy an Onstream drive bundled with AS... I installed an SC30 and the bundled AS worked flawlessly.

Onstream advised that I had to upgrade to ver7+ before I could use the SC30 with Arcserve. I thought there was a plug in for older vers of Arcserve. Seagate Backup Exec came with the drive. I'll probobly look at that first before thinking about upgrading.

PS It seems Backup Exec can control an arry of backup devices and treat the array as a single entity!
