JSI Tip 1006. NTBackup may fail due to tape drive timeout.

If NTBackup ocassionally fails, it may that the tape drive did not complete the last operation in the default time allowed. Edit:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\NTBackup\Hardware

Add Value name Drive Settling Time as a type REG_SZ. The default value is 60 (seconds). Try setting it to 120.
