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 turned out to be an error in netbackup when the restore data for the active directory was over fixed size. I think it was 2gig. So it is always good to have a second software view of things. len -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Justin Piszcz Sent: Wednesday, May 17, 2006 9:11 AM To: Paul Keating Cc: veritas-bu@mailman.eng.auburn.edu Subject: Re: [Veritas-bu] bpverify(1) is a joke, is it possible to restore to /dev/null?
