Check your device pool - normally a replaced drive will have a new name,
like HP2 instead of HP1. Since oftentimes, people setup Backup Exec to
target jobs at a specific device, you may need to add the new drive to the
drive pool and then set the jobs to target that drive pool. That way if you
replace it again, you only need to add the drive to the pool.
