Hello Imran
 
One thought that comes to mind, is that you might have one or more tapes that 
are bad.

        Subject: [Veritas-bu] Media 84 /85 erros
        
        

        We have a 16 Windows 2000 clients backing up on dedicated gigabit LAN 
to window 2000 backup server which has a FC card installed. A Scalar 100 
library which has SAN module and so takes FC from backup server and converts to 
SCSI connected to 4 LTO drives
        
        This has been working OK for 4 months and suddenly started getting 
mainly media write 84 error and some error 85 First it was for one or two of 
the scheduled jobs now it occurs on randomly across different jobs. The drives 
keep getting 'Downed any afterwards ideas

         

        When looking at the logs and reports the following is written

         

        "Tar write error (10054)"
        
        

        Any ideas what this could be, I have cleaned the drives but still 
happening 

         

        Kind Regards,
