eject tape and export tape not working on veeam backup
Best answer by Chris.Childerhose
Hi
- Eject tape - this is used when a tape is in a drive and in this case your tape is only located in a Slot. If the tape was in a drive, then Eject would be available.
- Export - this option exports the tape from the slot to the I/E (Mailslot) within the tape unit - do you have a mailslot configured? Or is it just slots in the tape unit? You need to ensure the tape device is configured correctly to have an I/E (Mailslot) available to export tapes.

+2This is usually happened if your tape is in the slot. However, if you believe that the tape is in drive, so restarting the tape library might help (happens to me with IBM tape library but with older versions)
