The job was canceled automatically

Hi,

Manually erase the tape (either through BE itself, or through your tape drive manufacturer's utility). Once done, try run the duplicate job again.

If it gives you the same error, it's time to check the hardware...make sure there are no excessive Hard Write Errors on that tape (too many and it is a faulty tape, so try another!); also get hold of your drive manufacturer's utility (eg. HP has HP Library and Tape Tools - HP LTT) which you can run a range of diagnostics against the drive to rule out physical issues. You need to stop the BE services first before doing this.

Thanks!
