Hello Guiga,

Please check if you have all the required drivers installed in the OS. The changer drivers and the tape drive drivers should be listed in windows device manager.

Thanks. Do you see the tape drives listed in device manager and in Veeam B&R Console? Additionally, check the library UI it might have partitioning feature enabled (so you drives might be locked to a specific library partition).
