   I'm having a DLT restore problem I'm hoping somebody can help with.
I've been using a backup routine without problems for about 5 years.  Last
week, I began using a supposedly new DLT7000 drive for the backups.  Here's
the problem.....
     STORE - OK
     VSTORE - OK
     RESTORE - Media read errors.

   This seems to be an intermittent problem.  I've been able to store and
restore 1 - 2 Gb of files in testing, and I've been able to perform
multiple VSTOREs on the tapes.  Sometimes following a bad RESTORE I'm able
to VSTORE the tape without errors, but other times I can't.

   Anyone have any ideas?  Does this sound like a bad tape drive?
