    RESOLVED: strangeness with tape drives

    sup all,

    Covering the tape backup for another guy while hes on vacation.

    While troulbeshooting a problem with one of the server backups I noticed that the model of drive on this server matches that of the other 4 servers that we have been having problems with for some time and have writen off.

    Problem: Drive ejects the tape a) immediatly (obvious HW problem), b) mid job (why?), c) never (obvious HW problem)

    Particulars:

    Drive: DAT 9SP40-000
    Backup software: Backup Exec 8.6
    Data backed up: Stops around 26 GB (tape ejected)

    Any one have any iders as to why?
