willfurby Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard SP2 Retrospect SBS Standard Version 7.7.325 (32-bit) Driver Update and Hotfix, version 7.7.3.102 Just last night we received the following errors when verifying the backup set: Trouble positioning: "1-wdw" (114451237), error 0 ( unknown) Trouble reading: "1-wdw" (114451233), error 0 ( unknown) Generated MD5 digest for file "C:\Users Shared Folders\darrylk\Desktop\Generations 65% CDS\Drawings\VOLUME 3\04 mech\M0-13.pdf" does not match stored MD5 digest. The backup runs when no one is in the office. Although the file(s) could have been left open on a workstation. I am able to browse and write to the disk that the backset is on. Thanks.

willfurby Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Last nights backup completed without those errors. Not sure where the hiccup was.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emulator Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 We get these "trouble positioning" errors, and it normally means that there's a problem with the media (or dirty heads in the tape drive). We have learned to stay away from IMation and TDK media, as we have seen a VERY high failure rate on these brands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniels Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I have never had a problem with Sony AIT-3 or AIT-4 tapes but depending what kind of drive you are using you may need a different brand. BTW, Imation and TDK also have a very high rate of failure when it comes to their CD-Rs and CD-RWs. We used to use these and over half of the burns we made were unsuccessful. If you want backup tapes I have found Lenscomputers.com to have the lowest price and they include shipping where ordering 10+ tapes. They carry almost every type of backup tape available.
