Hi Gents,
Need your kind help/advise/instructions to cure my big problems in netbackup 
server3.4 running on solaris7 and overland tape library . I have one netbackup 
3.4 server and a few media servers running under it. I used to received status 
code 83 from the backup of media tapes under one of the media servers . I 
suspect it is due to media tape errors and I changed the tapes under this media 
server group. But other media tapes under another media server also came out 
status code 83 and a lot of errors as per follows. PLS PLS HELP ME OUT FROM 
THIS TROUBLE SINCE I M GOING TO CRAZY.
