My DLT7000 is correctly installed and I see the free media allocated.
Once I start ntbackup it asks me for preparing the media since it was
used on a different computer.

Once that is done, I try to use the tape but, alas, the backup tab
only allows me to use file (grayed out).

As a consequence I am left without the capabilities to do a backup.
System is WS03SP2R2 and I was able to run a full backup a day ago.

Anyone has a clue on how to re-enable the usage of tape on ntbackup?

hello,

check that the "removable storage" service started ?

Is the new media in the free pool ?
When i used to backup with ntbackup, i always first format the tape and put
them manually in the free pool.
