Hi all,

Thanks for your responses. I managed to identify the problem. In fact, what 
happened was that I was on leave for about one week and we have a problem with 
one of the drives on the tape library. After replacement, IBM guy requested the 
backup system administrator to test the drive by doing a unix OS backup. 
Unfortunately the administrator just grabbed that particular tape, loaded it in 
the drive and run the backup command  ......  No further details required , you 
can imagine the rest ...

Thanks anyway
