Soft write errors
I am using BE12 and just installed a new Superloader3 with LTO-3 drive. I have brand new media and my first job has tons of soft write errors. One the first tape, I have 3,002 and on the second tape I have 3,544. My first tape is full with 400GB of data at a 1:1 compression. My second tape has 225.3GB at 1:1 compression.
The backup appears to be ok, but this high number is very concerning. Any suggestions? I probably should have cleaned the drive first, but I did not. I will do that tonight and see if that changes anything. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Jeff
