Description:
The current testing is being done on O/S data only. The backups are =
going through successfully. When a restore is requested the media is =
mounted, the drive positions to the first fragment and the restore is =
started, once the first fragment has been restored successfully the =
positioning is then attempted to second fragment and it fails. The =
following is from the bptm log file:

I have read a lot of technical notes and documents on this mailing list =
about issues with LTO's, I also have a case open with Veritas and so far =
this problem has not been resolved. We have even tested 2 consecutive =
ufsdumps and positioned to the second and successfully restored the =
data. Please note that it does not matter where the start of backup =
marker is on the tape it is always found it is the fragment positioning =
that fails.
=20
I would appreciate any and all suggestions that you might have to assist =
with this problem.
