tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
I already swapped my tape drive and the problem continues. But, today, i make backup or restore only with files up to 20 MB.
My drive is a HP Ultrium 1840 SAS.
Regards,
Degani

If you can, try your media on another tape device.
Check also the output of dmesg.
¿What are the status of the device leds?
