General tape error

[Otavio]

i'm havin' some problems with the BE... The message "No more data is on the tape" often appears to me, and my backup tape set is not so old. It is a damaged media problem or a BE configuration problem?

Thanks !!!

What version of Backup Exec do you have and build - see help/about in Backup Exec?

hi!!!

Backup Exec 8.5 Rev. 3571

i'm using 40/80GB Quantum DLT drive and DLTTape IV tape sets. The server is a Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP2. I have license for Advanced Server Edition, Remote Agent for Windows NT/2000 Option, OFO.
And the problem persists, same "No more data on tape". I try some different tapes and there's no success.

Thank you for the attention.

This should do the trick, you have two options:

1. Apply the Media Fix

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/234341.htm

"Unrecognized Media" Hotfix for BENT v7.3 b.2575, v8.0 b.3316 and v8.5 b.3571 ONLY! [ALPHA/INTEL cpu's]

Make sure you follow the directions in the above link carefully. You need to run the MediaFix_234341 -d at the dos prompt to extract the files properly. (just follow the above for details)

2. Download 8.5 build 3572 and install (includes the mediafix mentioned above)

http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/235770.htm

BENT v8.5 build 3572 rc9 (Intel) (English) (SBS Support) Serial # Req.

Cheers and good luck! :
