Re: unable to backup to a standalone drive (solved)

You know, after reading my posting I found the solution.

The device type of the drive is GENERICTAPE (generic AIX type),
but the device class I have created is DLT.

Defining a GENERICTAPE devclass then re-defining the drive with
the new devclass fixed the problem.

Next time I will send an email to myself first to see if I can
solve it ;)

Cheers, Suad
