Ran manuf's Tape Rx 4.6 several times [on tape "Daily5-7"]:
1) 200MB write/read test: successful
2) 5GB write/read test: successful
3) 25GB write/read test: successful
4) 500MB compression test: "unable to begin the test. Device compression is turned off."
5) Electronics Test: pass
6) Retrieve Trace Buffer: gathering trace data from the drive....(waited for 15 minutes and stopped it).
server jammed up. Had to reboot it.
Are we getting ripped off with bad "new" tapes? They were cellphane wrapped and appeared to be new.
OS of the backup server is W2003 Svr. Std, R2, SP2, all patched up with critical updates.
BE version is 10.1 SP3. All server agents are at same build.
At a loss here folks.
