Hi,

On the las two weeks my Veritas BackUp exec 9 is doing something it has never done, on previous backups it would use the full capacity of the first 3 tapes of my backup (meaning that after running a backup those tape were left with 0 available capacity)

Now it is leaving free available capaacity on the tapes, 2 Gb, 10 GB, 15 GB, wich this week made the backup use an extra tape for just 2 GB, that could easilly fit in any of that unused space.

Any Idea on why is it doing it, and how to solve it???

Many thanks in advance
 
bad tapes, bad drive.

trying cleaning the drive and using brand new tapes.
