Quite possibly it is. =20
=20
However, what you may be looking at is not a bad tape, but perhaps you
have a questionable tape drive. Back in my consulting days, I had a
client with a very similar issue. =20
=20
Try running:
bpimmedia -U and see what device wrote the image to this tape. =20
=20
Then you may want to try downing all drives except the one that wrote
the image to the tape in question, the re-run your restore and see if
that clears up your problem.
=20
If it does, you may want to have your Library Vendor come on site to
check the calibration of your drives and specifically the drive in
question.

=20
NBU 4.5 MP3 on Solaris Master. Doing a Force_Restore _Media_Server
restore of a Windows NT Microsoft Exchange Server.
Four tapes are involved in this restore. On the fourth tape we get error
code 5 abort. The bperror says "tapemark of blank tape encountered
reading media header."
=20
Does that mean the tape is hosed? Or can I try again in the hope that
the second attempt can work its way through?
