I am facing a problem regarding the MSL 5000 Tape Drive. I get the following error message once or twice a week :
Critical - The tape drive needs cleaning:
1. If the operation has stopped, eject the tape and clean the drive.
2. If the operation has not stopped, wait for it to finish and then clean the drive.
Check the tape drive users manual for device specific cleaning instructions.
Robotic Library: COMPAQ 1
Drive: COMPAQ 6
Slot: 21
The slot number is different every time. I have used new cleaning tape but the problem persists. I have no other related problem in the backup procedure.
I wonder what may be the reason for this message to appear. I am using Veritas Backup Exec 9.0 for Windows Servers utility under Windows 2003 Server operating system.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I am using SDLT tape drives. I changed the cleaning tape once again and I am optimistic that this problem does not happen again.

You say you're replacing the cleaning tape - you know those are only meant for 20 uses, right?
