SYMPTOMS
========
When you use Windows NT Backup to perform a backup or restore operation using a
tape that has been partitioned into multiple partitions, the tape cannot be
erased or formatted for use.
NOTE: Third-party software must be used to create multiple partitions on a backup
tape. Backup does not provide this functionality.
CAUSE
=====
Backup recognizes only the first partition on a tape. Other partitions on the
tape cannot be removed or formatted by Backup.
RESOLUTION
==========
Remove the additional partitions on the tape using the third-party program that
was originally used to create the additional partitions.
