Chris,

   I hope I can help you some, but I will need more info from you as well...

   First - What version of ADSM server are you running and have you assured you 
have the
correct level of device support license?

   Second - you checked the device compatibility and assured that the IBM 
4326NP/RP drive
is supported by ADSM, right?

   Third - What backup client software are you using?

   Fourth - You have removed the Novaback device driver from the CONFIG.SYS and 
rebooted,
right?  If not, that could explain the trap error.

   I presume the tape drive is a standalone unit, not a tape library...correct?

   The process is:
        1.  Define a library - example:  define library manual1 libtype=manual
        2.  Define a drive - example:  define drive manual1 drive1 
device=tape01$
              Where: 0 represents the location of the SCSI adaptor, and
                     1 is the SCSI device address
        3.  Define a device class


   You will find ADSM administration much more rewarding if you get a set of 
manuals, or at
least get the CD manual set.
