Hi,
A client of ours is using backup exec 2012 (Latest version) to backup to their daily tapes. About 2 weeks ago the backup started failing with all the tapes and received the following error message:
0x17
V-79-57344-34028 - A backup storage read/write error has occurred.
If the storage is tape based, this is usually caused by dirty read/write heads in the tape drive. Clean the tape drive, and then try the job again. If the problem persists, try a different tape. You may also need to check for problems with cables, termination, or other hardware issues.
If the storage is disk based, check that the storage subsystem is functioning properly. Review any system logs or vendor specific logs associated with the storage to help determine the source of the problem. You may also want to check any vendor specific documentation for troubleshooting recommendations.
Looked at other posts that people have made and tried some of the reccomendations there but nothing has worked. The tape drive that we use there is a HP Ultrium-4 SCSI and have ensured that the drivers and firmware are up to date. Have also tried running HP library and tape tools and everything seems to be fine.
One strange thing however is that we are able to run a backup in very small amount only tried about 6 MB at most but it is able to back that much up just fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
