After the 2nd use of a Travan 20GB tape running Backup Exec 7.0, the log file and the alert tells me to never use this tape again. Is this related to the overwrite protection level (currently none,as it's not needed)? Is the tape really bad, or does Backup Exec just think it is?
 
Just a shot in the dark, but my Travan 20 GB tapes will rewind completely off one reel, so that no tape is showing under the flap, and therefore the cartridge isn't readable.
