Hi,

Its Windows Netbackup 7.1.0.3, MSL8096 Library, Netapp 3160. 

Any ideas?

Are you trying to backup exchnage informartion store via a NDMP backup ?. Are you sure it's supported configuration ?.

www.ndmp.org say :

NDMP_EOF_ERR

The tape command because end of file was encountered.

The path being backed up is a snapshot path created by NetApp Snap Manager for Exchange.

This is the same path used by a previous Netbackup installation which worked ok.

Looks like a bad tape or perhaps a faulty drive.  Check tape library hardware logs for additional clues.
