Hi, I have a Windows 2003 R2 32bit server running Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R3.

Connected to that is an MSL 6030 with 2x Ultrium LTO4 drives, running on Symantec's drivers.

I have a requirement to connect a VM host running Veeam to the drives, and Tape Redirector appears to be the solution. What i am here to ask initially is:

* Are there any known conflicts with Tape Redirector & Symantec BE2010? Or with the Symantec drivers?
* Does Tape Redirector make any changes at driver level to the tape drives or the existing SCSI interface?

This is the production backup server which I hope to replace with Veeam, but I need to test the 'to tape' element of Veeam 7, which won't work on the existing server. I am hoping that an iSCSI connection will allow me to test what I need to do before making significant changes to the existing infrastructure.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick
