Hello Justin,
From what you have shown us it looks like a bad tape. But It would be good to
try to read the tape using an util that is not netbackup. Like tcopy or dd,
etc.
A few years ago, we had a problem with a restore of an active directory machine
that showed up as an i/o error. It
Why?
I have a 2-3TB backup that I do not have another 2-3TB box to restore
to. If I can restore to /dev/null, then I could test a restore and
the tapes integrity.
And if it does not verify all the data on the tape, how come it takes
~2hrs for each LTO2 tape?
Justin.

If you duplicate the tapes, it will also test their integrity. If the
images are unreadable in a Dup process, the process should fail.
