  If the data cartridge doesn't eject when pressing the EJECT button, the backup software might have locked the drive. Try closing the software. You can also try restarting the system or turning the power off and on. If the system detects a drive failure, it might prevent ejection; in this case, try restarting the system or turning the power off and on. If software was used for ejection but the cartridge didn't eject, execute the software ejection again, then press the EJECT button.
