Surestore T20-SCSI Bus Timeout error

I am using a Surestore T20 tape drive connected to the external SCSI controler on a Compaq DL380 server. I am running Netware 5.1 and Veritas' BackupExec v. 8.5 Rev.3012. I am receiving a "SCSI bus timeout" error when attempting to do a backup. This doesn't happen everyday, but when I reboot the server it will backup about 3-4 days, then it happens again.
Any suggestions or solutions is greatly appreciated.
