Server keeps spitting out backup tape

[Dana DiSalvo]

I'm running small business server/server 2000. Every morning I come in and
change out the backup tape. 10 minutes after I put in the new backup tape, it
spits it right back out. I've tried different tape, but it spits them all
back out. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it?

I assume you're running ntbackup.exe to back up your
files. Your first step should be to examine the log files
created by ntbackup. They tell you what's going on!
