Using the same DLT tapes over and over again may make them "wear out". Get new(er) ones. eBay should have some unopened, 3 to 5 bucks each. Usually in "lots" 10, 20, or 30. I have about 150 of them and my rollover for dailies are about 2 months, I use two a weekday.
(I use LTO3 for full.)
And the mechanism itself may be wearing out. Sometimes one of the two little fans fail and the mech gets hot. Should keep a spare handy, depending on your reseller about 300-700 bucks and degree of refurbishment. (Could be a DLT 7000 or 8000, they work about the same.)
Also get a cleaning tape on eBay. Usually found as DLT III cleaning models, but they also clean DLT IVs. (The rule of thumb is a DLT shouldn't be cleaned unless the cleaning light asks for it.)

Subject: [HP3000-L] Full backup aborting

Hi all,
Been awhile and hope all are doing well. I lurk weekly, but haven't had any issues until now. We've had our full back up on Friday nights abort several times now and not really able to discern why - sometimes it works while other times it doesn't.
Here are the most recent abort messages from the last full backup in the order they appeared:
"Store encountered media write error on LDEV 8 (S/R 1454)"
"Specifically, Store received error -354 from the IO system (S/R 1557)"
"Store experienced error while attempting to verify media on LDEV 8 (S/R 1469)"
"Specifically, Store received error -40 from SUBSYS LLIO"
After these errors the store was hung, so the job was manually aborted.
As a test/fix, we're swapping out the 'not very old DLT tape' for a brand new DLT tape to see if that makes a difference. We use a single tape for full backup and alternate week to week between two different tapes, so it's hard to imagine two DLT tapes that worked perfectly well all of a sudden going bad at the same time, but hey, things happen. Also, the daily, partial backups work just fine (each day has its own tape).
So if any of y'all have any pointers, please let me know?
Thanks, and as previously noted, hope all are doing well!
