It could be a driver conflict. The manual states that things like CDROM
drivers, serial drivers, video drivers, network drivers, can affect
backmaster... you could try stripping down your config.sys to it's bare
essentials, and using that version of it for backups. I do that because
my serial driver (SIO) wont backup. You can also make sure that the tape
drivers are either the LAST driver loaded, or the FIRST driver loaded.

I also found, that with the hardware problem that I had, certain
functions worked (even with the dos software) but others didn't, so I
could say, check out what volumes were on the tape, do a retension, but
not the actual backup part...

Hope you get your tape working... :-)
