Thank you. I will try changing the read hostname attribute in the autochanger.  
But, after reading the documentation I am not sure if this should have been 
necessary.  The documentation says....

"Normally, when a recovery is requested, the NetWorker software matches the 
host that is controlling the device required for the recovery with the hosts 
listed in the Storage Nodes list located in the Client resource."


At present my client is a SAN storage node and is setup to backup using itself 
by putting its name in the storage nodes field of the client attribute. It 
backs up across the tape san successfully as I can see the devices in use in 
the Administration and also the speed of backup would not occur over the 
network.


Regards,  Mark

Read the section in the admin guide entitled "Host device selection for
recoveries".
