[Veritas-bu] Media Write Errors

Well have you enabled logging to check what happens at the time of the
error?

On the Windows system it would be Netbackup\Logs\Admin I think - also,
normally the Windows Event viewer would give some indication of what is
happening (ie: low on space, I/O error, scsi time out, ect).

Anything like that reported Jonathan?

Also, how large is the catalog - I recall someone on the list reported
similar problems with disk catalog backups when it was attempting to write
files larger than several GB.

I assume tape catalog backups are fine :-) ?

As I eluded to in the E:\Catalog I've tried changing both directories
(D:\Catalog D:\Catalog etc..) and Drives (E:\Catalog, D:\Catalog.)  This
particular server has 4 different disks / partitions and they all produce
the same results.  I'm a bit perplexed.

Does it work to a different disk?

Sounds like you may have either hit a bug or bad sector(s) on the disk,
I would guess the latter.

Justin.
