I picked up an old DLT drive from work (DEC DLT2000, branded as Compaq). When I try to initiate a backup using WinXP's Backup, the backup fails to initiate. The software returns the message that the drive requires cleaning. I assume that the appropriate way to clean these devices is with a cleaning tape. Can anyone recommend a place to get proper cleaning tapes?

You can usually get them from the same place you get the cartidges from.

We get ours from Misco
