VXA 320 Soft Read Errors
Hello I am currently using Backup Exec 11D with a VXA 320 Tape Drive. My backups appear to be working fine but I am getting an unusually high number of soft read and write errors. Usually I will see most of these errors when running a verify on the job but for the most part this is happening with all my VXA tape drives.
I also have LTO2 and LTO3 Drives and I do not encounter this issue at all. The Tape drive is an IBM (Tandenburg) VXA 320 device.
I would like to know is this usual for a VXA drive? Do they usually have more Soft Read and Write errors than an LTO drive would?
I tried calling tech support but they never get back to me and when they do and I call them back I just end up waiting on hold. If someone out there can help me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
