Backup cant find Media

Trying to backup to a tape drive (Seagate STT3401A/Travan
Tape) via microsoft backup. Get this message:

Required Media Missing
There is no unused media available with the selected type.
Add unused media or click Cancel to select another type.
(Note: It may take 60 seconds for removable storage to
recognise new media)

This is a first backup routine.

In the MS Backup wizard I have two options in the Backup
Destination field: "Travan" and "miniQIC" and have tried
both. Under Backup Media or File Name Field only
have "New Media".

Checked Device Manager and it says Tape Drive is working.

Looked at Help and have checked Removable Storage as far
as I can understand it! EG: A "Media Pool" snap-in has
been created called Backup with miniQIC and Travan as sub
snap-ins. Can see nothing untoward in their properties,
but.... may be missing something.

Under the "Physical Locations" snap-in a Seagate STT3401A
snap in has been created with sub snap-ins called "Media"
and "Drives". The tape injects and ejects from the
Seagate snap-in menu. However there is nothing in the
details pane when "Media" snap-in is selected. There is a
Drive 0 in the details pane when the "Drives" snap-in is
selected, however this says "Empty" in the state column.

Help!

Thanks in anticipation
