disk staging problem: "error occurred reading TIR"

[dmorgens]

Hello All,

I'm using disk staging for some backups and they are not being written successfully to tape. Our server is Windows 2003, NBU 5.0 MP4 and the clients unix (solaris and linux) running 5.0,MP3 and MP4.

Here's a sample of what I'm seeing in the details of the job run:

I don't think it's bad media as nbu grabbed some fresh tapes yesterday for the job and the same errrors occured.

The duplication jobs are lasting longer and longer since they are not getting put to tape.

Are these images corrupt? Should I expire them so that nbu doesn't continue to try to write to tape unsuccessfully?

Thanks,

Dan
