I have 3 sites with same hardware, OS and backup configuration. However only one of the site is giving this error.

Please share if you can think of a solution for this error.

You say you are using a tape library as target but this error seems to be related to backup2disk. Are any B2D folders configured under devices? If yes, are the accessible and online?

We don't have any B2D folders. I don't know why this error is here when tape is the destination.

The backups are working well without any errors.

Infact I have the same configuration with same hardware at a different site which is running without this error

Hi,

 

I'd always suggest updating with any available patches...this would be the first step in troubleshooting.

 

Laters!
