What changed?

Is the media write protected?
Have you tried a new tape?
Did any configurations change like block size settings?

What type of tape drive/library are you using?

Re: Backup error Arcserv backup 11.1

If this an an HP VS80 tape drive, then you can install the HP Library & Tape Tools (http://www.hp.com/support/tapetools) diagnostic program (runs on most OS platforms).

Run the device analysis test first, as it will check the drive logs for any reported problems. There is a drive assessment test you can also run which will test it. It's recommended to run that on a new or known good tape.

You can also generate a "support ticket" for the device and I could review the device error logs in detail.
