NICE Backup Tape - Media Failure

NICE Backup Tape - Media Failure

NICE Backup Tape - Media Failure

(OP)
Hi All,

Anyone got any advise on tapes which load up as "media failure"?

I had 1 today but I only recovered a call from it the day before, seems a bit odd.

Cheers.

RE: NICE Backup Tape - Media Failure

Run a cleaning tape through the drive at least 3 times and try again if that still fails reboot the logger if still having problems (and no fault indication on leds) get the drive replaced.

When I was born I was so suprised I didn't talk for 18 months

Ok, thanks anyway!

RE: NICE Backup Tape - Media Failure

Try a new tape before changing the drive. Might be cheaper.

STA means "Short term alarm"
