Verifying Fails for Normal Backup

They could be related.
Few things we need to establish first.
1. What version/revison Backup Exec (8.6 Rev 3878)?
2. What tape drive/media are you using?
NB: If you are using DLT or LTO unit, you don't need to do a software verify (in the backup job), as modern tape drives do a hardware verify (built in feature).
3. Ensure you are using a cleaning tape at least once a month.
4. Have you run a chkdsk on the server, to weed out any corrupted files, etc. ?
5. Have you got the Backup Exec "Open File Option" installed ?
Regards,
John.
