While i was off work the following error occurred while the users were trying to do a differential backup using MS Backup - 'current media is from a different media family'.

I have tried the procedure myself today but i get the same error. This occurs as a fresh backup tape is inserted in the drive to continue the process. I have restarted the server to see if this would clear the error but it hasn't. I have also looked on the microsoft site for any information on this error and i cant see anything.

I have started a fresh backup rather than hit my head against a brickwall, but it would be nice to know the cause of it.
