getting errors when trying to restore

527909535
Not applicable
When trying to restore a file from a full backup the job fails with the error: 45d - request could not be preformed because of an I/O device error. Back up is running fine and I have verified that the tape has actually been written to. I have tried more that one file so I know it is not the file I am trying to restore. Running 9.1 on 2003 Server with internal HP Ultrium 460

Try these steps:
1) Re-inventory the tape containing the data.
2) Go to tools options and click on the catalog tab and uncheck the box use "storage media based catalogs".
3)Now, Try cataloging again.
This will take longer time to catalog when compared to "storage media catalog" because it will catalog the tape byte by byte.
4) Now, run the restore.
