Unix / DLT 4 Tape Drive Error Question
#1
Hi folks anybody help on this one,
Automated backups ran over weekend on a simple vdump script on Alpha unix.
FAILED
basically halwfay through started getting I/O errors,
before I plan a 1am visit tonight, do you reckon
media or drive
do I chance it on media and stay in bed and hope backup runs ok or get out of bed and check !!!!
(ran the tape head cleaner through the unit this morning even though it was not prompted)
thanks

Deffo #1 thing to try is media. Can't you get a brand new tape and dump large file to that during the day?
If the tape backup fails with the new tape then there's lots of time to get an engineer out to fix the drive before bed time..
