Hi Everyone !

I have one strange problem with NTBackup. A few weeks ago, I made a backup
on SERVER A with ntbackup. This week, I need to restore 1 directory from
this tape backup. When I insert the tape into the drive, NTBackup say :

"Unrecognized media has benn found in location.....This media may have never
been used, or may contain information generated by an incompatible program.
Do you want to prepare this media for use with Backup ?"

If I put this tape into Server B, I receive the same message.... But if I
put this tape in Server C..... I can catalog the tape and restore what I
want !!!!

Any idea ???
