    Would seem that adding the exclusions and unticking the "scan on backup" option in the SEP polices have sorted it. The past few backups have all finished on time. Must be yet another bug in SEP 12.1.2 that causes the problem as we never had it in 12.1.1 and before as it always finished in time.

    Fun and games, I swear this SEP AV is just designed to cause more problems than it solves

It is using the symantec drivers, it has worked fine with them for ages. Firmware was updated about 8 month ago, dont think there is a newer version.

Can't see how it can be the media, as multiple tapes are used so they cant all be bad, surely.

I think its possibly either the tape drive itself is the issue, might try moving to another library and trying it there. Could also be the latest version of SEP 12.1.2, as its caused issues with other programmes we run since it was installed, so maybe need to look further at the exclusions
