Software is Backup Exec 7.  Hardware is DLT4000.

We occasionally get "Storage device DEC 0 reported an error on a
request to write data to media".  Error reported is Data error (cyclic
redundancy check).

I've always considered this to indicate a bad tape.  now one of my
techs is telling me that he saw a Veritas tech article on this that
seemed to say it wasn't a bad tape and that a registry setting would
make it go away.

Are these bad tapes?
