How do you know you don't have media errors? You don't say what platform you're 
running on but from a UNIX point of view I can almost always relate a FROZEN 
media to some kind of error. I find them in 
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/media/errors. I can't say what the NT/W2K equivalent 
is. My point is you may be having errors and don't know it.

Just an observation.

Hi,

I know that media gets frozen due to media errors but to my knowledge, there
have been no media errors.  I noticed today that I have 6 tapes that are in
a frozen state and I am not sure why?  If I unfreeze them, the backup job
mounts them and then tries but it times out eventually when trying to write
to them.  They eventually freeze again.  Any ideas as to what I should be
looking at?  Thanks for any help.

Katherine
