I was working on a project for a client who runs a scheduled backup daily. He needs to stop the SQL service, which I have done successfully, but I need to find a way to access a tape drive to see that the tape is actually inserted. I do not know of any way to do this with ntbackup.
I have tried to find this on the web but came up fruitless.
This is a windows form in C#, using .NET Framework 2.0.
The tape drive does not come up in the DriveInfo.GetDrives().
Does anybody know how I can verify that the tape is inserted in C#
Thank you in advance!
