I am using NTBackup and my backups are failing.
They do not fail at the same point every time.

The output from the logfile is:

Error: The device reported an error on a request to write data to media.
Error reported: Attempt to move past end of media.
 
Sounds like a bad tape, or a dirty drive.

Run the cleaning tape, then try a new tape. How old are those tapes? They should be replaced if they're more than a year old and being used more than once a week.
