Soft/Hard Read/Write Errors Help.

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:  0
Soft read errors:  0
Hard read errors:  0
Soft write errors:  4224
Hard 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!
