Sounds like a tape issues. Check with your Silo hardware manufacture if the
tapes are certified by them. If yes then you probably have a bad batch of
tapes.

        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,
