I am working with a W2K server and backup exec 8.6. When I perform a full backup job set to overwrite, everything is great. When I try to run an incremental job the job fails. It gives me an I/O error:
Storage device "xxxx" reported an error on a request to space backward by file marks.
Error reported:
The I/O bus was reset.
^ ^ ^ ^ ^
I have cleaned the drive several times, reformatted the tapes, tried new tape, changed the SCSI ID to 2 from six (no other devices on chain), disabled removable storage service, uninstalled and reinstalled backup exec, performed a couple of registry edits, read just about every article in the veritas kb and made sure that overwrite and append protection were disabled.
I'm not convinced this is a hardware issue because a full backup (set to overwrite) works every time.
I welcome any ideas!! Thanks in advance
