4 hours does seem excessive. I would check the log; usually, if there are 
errors with the physical media, they are listed there. I've had that 
happen; I've set the drive the tape was in to "disabled", in order to 
eject the tape; clean the drive; try again. if it happens twice, I'd say 
the tape was bad, unfortunately.
