'source backup set had completed with the following error/exceptions

v-79-57344-33298 library error  invalid element address.'

tape firmware & controller FW is current. SCSI id's are correct.

using IBM tape drives & LT04 tapes with IBM drivers.

this error just started a few weeks ago. no HW errors in windows.

server bios has been upgraded.

 

any ideas, I'm fresh out.

thx

Issue is coming only for duplicate backups to tape? What if you backup the data directly to tape? Does that work fine?

This will isolate if the issue is with the duplicate backups or tape device.

If direct backup to tape works fine try a duplicate backup from disk to disk and check the result.
