Hi,

I am running Arcserve 2000 SP3 on a W2K server SP2. HP LTO 1/9 autoloader. Adaptec 29160 SCSI card using the Windows driver after recomendation from Adaptec becuase the Adpatec one is very slow.

I am starting to get media errors on my backup jobs. These started about 2 months ago. It seems to happen on verify when unloading one tape and loading another. I get this error (on every backup job that is more than 1 tape).

TAPE E6096 Media Error [ABSL:2030 CMD:8h]
E3713 Unable to read from the media
E3841 Unable to fond session number (Media-xx Session..

I can however restore files from the session it says it can't find althogh I have not tried a full restore of this sessio? There are no SCSI errors on the W2K event logs.

I am reluctant to put Arceserve SP4 on the machine after the nightmare we had with SP3.

I have seen these errors mentioned before on but not altogether. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Many Thanks,

Matt
