Topic: How to enable tape backup when disabled

[John]

I just inst. a Seagate tape, it works with flexbackup -fs all
But not from the admin 'backup or restore' page.
'Tape backups are disabled.' How can i enable the tape.
It is an 32000 and not an 22000 type. Can someone help here.

Thanks Charlie, but the panel is not there for enable tape and time seting for backup - only 'Tape backups are disabled.' and below 'from desktop'

Is there an config file to enable the tape, or do I have to make an template file
as 10backup

John,
A little experimentation never hurt !!

Select the option Configure tape backup
then
Check the box to Enable tape backup
