stuartm Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 backing up to the above and had 5 out of the 9 Quantum tapes tagged as bad media. Am assuming that this is not normal. The tapes are only 9 months old and some only used once. Have done a long erase, moved the autoloader and backup server away from other machines, cleaned the drive, backup to disk is fine etc etc etc. Not all the tapes do it so do I just have a bad batch of tapes? Anyone else experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 I had exactly this happen on our Exabyte drive, and it was a marginal batch of tapes. Have you checked to see whether there is a firmware update for the drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
