We have a server that seems to hardly ever complete a full scheduled backup. We have to come in every day and change tapes then re-insert tapes for verify. Any suggestions on this.

Your tapes are filling up. You can:

1. make sure compression is working
2. reduce the amount of data being backed up
3. use bigger tapes / higher capacity drives
4. invest in a robotic tape library

Thanks we'll check into it.
