Dear Sir,
I have some problem about restore data when I test Disaster Recovery. Now I use Tape VS 40/80 with Cartridge 40/80. I bring cartridge to backup site and use Tape SDLT 220 catalog my data so it complete and after restore data 10% the job failed. I test by change Tape to SDLT 160/320 and catalog. The catalog job fail as description below. I found the catalog has exist already (I think it appear when catalog by SDLT 220) so I can restore data complete. I use backup exec 9.1 with sp1. Could you please to check my problem why it only catalog by SDLT 220 and use SDLT 160/320 for restore data?

Hi,

The issue youe are facing is due to the reason that the storage device driver did not receive a response from the storage device or the controller within a specific amount of time.

Please follow the the link given below to troubleshoot the issue :

If the issue persist try performing backup and restore with a different media and verify the results.

Hope this will resolve the issue.
