I hope this is near enough on topic.

I started to create a standalone backup this morning aand have a problem. The backup process aborted because of a problem with the tape drive. The drive is now sitting there with all three lights flashing. If I press the 'unload' button all of the lights come on stadily for some time and then start flashing again.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong, or at least how to diagnose the problem?

BTW I aam running VMS 5.2.

Regards
Pete
