We recently upgraded from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2019.

This slowed our tape backup severely, doubling the time to complete our backup to a Quantum LTO tape drive. Searching for updated drivers, I find on Quantum's website a 3.8.0.1 driver that is labeled as "for Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019", in addition, there is a 3.8.0.2 driver labeled "for all current Windows OS's except Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016/2019". Windows installs the 3.8.0.2 driver, and if I attempt to use the 3.8.0.1 driver, it refuses, saying, "The best driver for your device are already installed." How can I install the proper 3.8.0.1 driver??

Update: Manually copying the two driver files and overwriting the current two files resulted in the system still showing the drivers as version 3.8.0.2. Uninstalling the device and reinstalling, did result in it using the proper 3.8.0.1 drivers. This did not result in any improvement in the backup time. So as Ramhound suggested they seem identical.

I appreciate all the help!
