I am using a Dell Poweredge SC420 with Small Business Server 2003. The tape backup unit is a Travan TR-40. I have searched everywhere for a fix for this problem. The backup server has worked fine for years, now all of a sudden when I put a tape in, it is automatically ejected. I have tried, hotfixes, cleaned the machine, tried 2 different new tapes, but when I put the tape in it whirls for 30 seconds and ejects it.
Here is what the backup log says:
