I already made a case but want to share the information with you people. So maybe someone had the same problem. Or I do something terribly wrong
When the tape backup job start. It failed after a few seconds.
Also the message "There is nothing to backup" is strange because there is 100% a full backup file (VBK)
Tape unit is a Dell PowerVault TL-2000 loader. (tape-drive is from IBM but drivers are original from Dell)
Regards,
Maarten

Did some more research. It was a credential issue. The service account did had permissions on the storage. Thats why the tape could be written.
After adding the service account for read/write. Everything works.
Sometime it could be that simple.
