Re: Tar not working properly
Also back in March you had a similar if not identical problem? How did you resolve that one or is it the same one?

"I use DDS4 tapes, it is the same problem with the same server I had back in...."
what you say and what the drive says *differ*. If this worked after the drive replacement, I'd suggest that the replacement has failed again.

Re: Tar not working properly
If this tape drive is covered by a maintenance contract, I wouldn't worry. HP will replace it as often as necessary. What you CAN do however is start questioning HP as to why the drive fails so often.
