Is it on the same tape each time?
Is it on the same tapedrive each time?
The only time I have seen media positioning errors in our installations is
has been due to tape errors.
But sometimes it helped just to load the tape on a different drive.
I have only had the problem on backups (thank God never on restores)
What tapedrives do you use?
