Check that the software has not sent the tape drive a
prevent media removal command to prevent an
accidental eject. Check with the backup application
software vendor on how to change this option and send
the drive an enable media removal command to restore
control to the eject switch. Alternatively, a SCSI reset
will have the same effect.
