nicholsj Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 When I was on Windows XP I installed a Quantum DAT Tape Drive and used the in built backup utility on Windows XP to backup to a DDS 4 tape. This was fine on XP but having now transferred the DAT Drive to my new machine running Windows Vista Home Premium the drive shows as OK on device manager but I cannot find a backup utility that will map to the new DAT drive so I can access the old data on my previous backup DDS 4 tapes.Can anyone assist?

fizban2 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 i don't believe that functionality is available in vista itself to backup to tape, you will need to find a 3rd party app that will allow you to back up to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
