I am running Netbackup 3.4.1 on a Tape SAN with 9840 tape drives which was
working fine until a couple of weeks ago when one of the tape drives was
replaced.

Test backup after it was changed worked ok BUT since that time I have
discovered that although backups work ok if you try and restore from the
tape if fails

01:08:29 [745] <16> io_read_media_header: block read is not a NetBackup
media he
ader, len = 1024, media id Z00340, drive index 3, data is unknown

We had the engineer swap two drives, the failing drive and one we knew
worked ok, however the backup/restore problem stayed at the same location
while the swapped failing drive worked ok, so this seems to rule out the
hardware.

Any ideas please

Roger
