With Veeam v.7 tape drive support has been introduced. However, it can be a problem if you're running Backup Exec on the same server as Veeam. We run Backup Exec to back up the few physical servers we still have, and also to move Veeam backups to tape for off site storage.
Veeam regularly rescans for new devices, and can temporarily lock the tape during the scan, which Backup Exec sees as the tape being offline.
You can set Veeam to only scan at start up by adding DWORD ChangerElementFillCompletionTimeoutSec to HKLM\SOFTWARE\VeeaM\Veeam Backup and Replication and setting it at the maximum value.
