Hi,

I think that it could be due to sparse files. Try frecover with the -s option.

Just another thought:

This error occurs sometimes due to the SCSI bus sharing with the backup device and other devices (disks?). Check this out and if possible, try recovering from the backup device after removing other devices from the same bus.

Also check for the latest patches.

In case you made the backup on tape, simply put the tape in some other device of another machine and try to recover the tapeheader only:
frecover -V /tmp/tapeheader -vy -f /dev/rmt/0m

In case this is succesfull, continu with reading index or file.
In case of no succes, read the comment of Sanjay in issue http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xd3888cc5e03fd6118fff0090279cd0f9,00.html
To see if the fbackup-binaries are corrupted: use cpio.

Please post the complete session log, i.e. all frecover messages.

I find

> I/0 error in write of file

rather strange. An I/O error while *writing* the file?

Do you only have problems with this one file, or also with other ones?
