Problem : The write Protector error on Backup Tape
I am getting "write protector error message" every time when trying to take a backup or trying to erase the tape. I have tried to take a backup on 5no of tape but all are getting same issue showing " The Write protecter errror message.
Solutions :
1. When we are getting "write protector error message" we can try Scractch option from media properties this option helps to overwrite on tape.
2. Try to clean your tape drive with Cleaning tape and try again.
3. Also check Overwrite protected until option in media properties this should be Infinate or overwritable( Scratch media)
4. Use HP Library and Tape tools software, scan your device and run test assignment for more details about problem this scan and check your hardware health, if you receive write protector error message in this also then replace your Tape Drive to solve this issue. i have also done the same and my problem resolved after tape drive replacement.
Please note : Before scaning use blank tape in tape drive this will erase all data from tape.
Try this step may this will help you.
Good Luck.
