SYMPTOMS
When you use Windows NT Backup to perform a backup or restore operation using a tape that has been partitioned into multiple partitions, the tape cannot be erased or formatted for use.

NOTE: Third-party software must be used to create multiple partitions on a backup tape. Backup does not provide this functionality.



CAUSE
Backup recognizes only the first partition on a tape. Other partitions on the tape cannot be removed or formatted by Backup.



RESOLUTION
Remove the additional partitions on the tape using the third-party program that was originally used to create the additional partitions.

Additional query words: prodnt volumes
