Backup failed

[T.M.]

Hi, I'm looking for an answer for my backup failure problem. I have an HP Surestore Ultrium 230 Ext Tape Drive operating under Veritas Backup Exec software. I set up 3 backup jobs. It runs fine until last week. One of the job is failed. I checked the log message: "No appendable media could be mounted Switching to overwrite operation on scratching media". What does it mean? How can I fix the problem? Thanks for your help.

Hello TM,
install HP LTT and check your drive, make sure it has latest firmware - http://www.hp.com/cposupport/information_storage/support_doc/lpg50128.html ;
