Tandberg Data Magnum 224 Product Manual page 217



If you used an application other than your normal backup software to write
data to the tape, your backup software may report that it does not recognize
the tape. For example, if you have used LTO Tool to write and read test data,
the test tape will not be "recognized" by your backup software. Perform a tape
erase using either LTOTool or your backup software.

If you suspect an issue with the backup software configuration, use LibTool
and LTOTool to first confirm that the library and tape drive are working
properly. Download and install LibTool and LTO tool from
www.tandbergdata.com.
Note:
The readme file that accompanies the program (or the online help for the
Windows version) provides instructions for using LibTool and LTOTool.
For any questions regarding software configuration, contact your software
provider.

data will fail.
If you are trying to write data, the cartridge may be write-protected. Check
