    CRC errors on brand new tapes? These errors are normally seen on old tapes that are no longer trustworthy.
    All I can suggest is that you work through the suggestions in the Status 84 In-Depth Troubleshooting Guide.

    Extract:
    As an application, NetBackup has no direct access to a device, instead relying on the operating system (OS) to handle any communication with the device. This means that during a write operation NetBackup asks the OS to write to the device and report back the success or failure of
    that operation. If there is a failure, NetBackup will merely report that a failure occurred, and any troubleshooting should start at the OS level. If the OS is unable to perform the write, there are three likely causes; OS configuration, a problem on the SCSI path, or a problem with the device.
