This error has been on this forum before but having tried the procudure on the Veritas site I have still have the problem.
The setup is Windows Server 2003 with BE 9.1 using a Seagate DAT 72 tape drive with DAT 72 tapes.

If I inventory and quick erase a tape it puts it into the scratch media pool. The next backup transfers the tape into the media pool, called Daily Backup, and runs ok. The next time the tape is used the block error occurs. The settings include overwrite not append and overwrite times set to 0.
Veritas tape drivers are used. Veritas SP4a has been loaded as are all Windows updates and hotfixes.
If anybody has a solution I would be happy to here from you.
