Hello i am using the Dell PowerVault T110 with Veritas Backup Exec 9.1. My backup schedule is: Two Backups A Day (Mon. - Fri.) One for SQL Second one for everything else The tapes for the SQL I've been using for well over a month which are close to NEW, and the other tapes; they have been here ever since i started my job which was in Sept. My concern is that when i run a backup either the SQL or i guess i can say FULL backups i get all kinds of errors in Veritas. Before the SQL backup this morning i went into the Drive Properties and reseted the cleaning statistics, and even cleaned the drive. After the SQL backup completed this morning, under the 'Media' --> 'Media Sets' in Veritas I found the backup that ran and here are the statistics: Total bytes written:284 GB Total bytes read:257 GB Total mounts:11 Total seeks:361 Total hours in use:18.4 Seek errors:0 Soft read errors:280 Hard read errors:4 Soft write errors:138814 Hard write errors:0 And under the Devices menu in Veritas i right clicked my drive and went into the properties to see the cleaning statistics and under the 'Errors since last cleaning' i found this: Seek errors: 0Soft read errors: 0Hard read errors: 0Soft write errors: 4224Hard write errors: 0 OK. Reading those errors just confused me. I thought under the 'Media Set' said i had other kinds of errors. Whats going on here? I really need this explained to me. Is this bad? Is it my drive? Thanks for the HELP!
