I have had a number of problems with Backup Exec in the two years I have used it. The most common error I get is (bad media error) I also get (cyclic rudunancy errors).In the event veiwer it will say that the drive (has a bad block)
WHAT IS A BAD BLOCK!!!!????
My servers are WINNT 4.0 SP 5, Backup Exec is 7.0, and my tape drive is a Sony SDT 7000. I am getting ready to replace the drive with a new Onstream 50G drive and upgrade to Backup Exec 8.0. My problem is now I need to get a good backup before I switch out everything, but I can't because the backups fail. It's a viciuos circle.
If anyone can give me a suggestion I would appreciate it.
