Possibly? Check the tape device drivers, ensure that the correct and current tape device drivers are installed. Veritas also supplies a set Of good drivers on there installation CD's under additional products. Block size is also very important for Windows - 64k as mentioned in previous Reply should be the Max.

My master server is a unix and the file server is win2k3. I have a ESL9000 attached to a san switch that the file server is attached too. Problem with the job is it will run for 4 to 5 hours and then fail with a code 84 (media write error). I have eliminated the tapes being the problem cause I have used new tapes and still get this error. I am wondering if its something with the switch or if it's the drives. It happens on multiple drives not just one. > > Any help would be greatly appreciated.
