I have been receiving a false error message when I run Vstore to verify my nightly backup tape. When I check the tape ( restore files it says it could not verify), all files seem to be stored . This is not an everyday problem, so I thought at first it may be an issue with the tape, but it has happened often enough ( three times in three weeks), that I am beginning to wonder if it is something to do with the dat drive. Here is the error message: 195 VSTORE ENCOUNTERED MEDIA READ ERROR ON LDEV 9 (S/R 1251) 196 SPECIFICALLY, VSTORE RECEIVED ERROR -44 FROM THE IO 197 SYSTEM (S/R 1555) Thanks for any help you may be able to offer!
