Marking a tape "BAD."


Recommended Posts

Tapes are only marked "bad" if the hardware has reported a media failure. Retrospect does not make the decision, the hardware sends Retrospect an error message like "206 Media failure" via a scsi sense code.

 

Every storage device will have different failure rates before reporting media or hardware failure.
