Data Error - CRC

[AndyCurry]

Hello,

I know this thread as been discussed and in many situations solved/diagnosed. However, not for me! The error message is DATA ERROR (CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK). I have cleaned the tape drives and also replaced the tapes but I am still getting the same messages. NT 4.0 Service Pack 6a build 1381, Veritas Backup Exec 7.2 - Sony 4mm 150p. Can anyone help?

When you cleaned the drive, did you try running the cleaning tape 3 or 4 times? Sometimes once isn't enough.

 

[AndyCurry]

Yeah I cleaned it a few times (3). No Joy, It still did not work, Could I have to replace the drive itself?

I had this exact problem. I cleaned the drive 10 times in a row (NO JOKE) and it didn't work! What did work was changing the compression from Hardware to Software in the backup job settings. I think the default is Hardware(otherwise Software if available).

Good Luck!
