I Hope someone can help me.
I have a dell Poweredge server t300
Running Windows 2008 Server
12.5 Symantec Backup Exec.
This is also a new install on a new machine.

I can access the drive in renaming the tape, erasing the tape, retensioning the tape, but when I go to write to the tape I get errors. There is a service that I had to turn on in the server called Voltume Shadow Copy Service, it was off, I started the service and I recieved the same error, I put the service in Automatic and restarted the server from a shutdown, after reboot I checked the Volume Shadow copy Service to see if it was started  and it was. I tried to run the backup again and I got the same error, so far no online text has been able to resolve my Problem. basicaly my error is this : e000fec9 - A failure occurred accessing the Writer metadata.
