Can some one here tell us clearly what the fault is and what we can do to fix it,
because the veritas documents are no help.

Hi,


Refer the technote given below :

Device I/O error occurs during the verify portion of a backup operation with Backup Exec http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/191087.htm



The error message "Error on a request to space to end of data. The request could not be performed because of an I/O error" is reported in Backup Exec 7.x, 8.x, 9.x, or 10.0 when attempting any media operation.
http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/191694.htm


--Check whether following event ids generated 7,9,11,15 in Event Logs ?



Update us on the same and revert for any further Query
Hope this will help you


Thank you
