Hi thomas, I would advise you to do an "audit vol xxxxx fix=yes" to check if it is ok, and eventually repair it. If not, you can still do a "move data" to copy usable data on another tape, and therefore not loose precious backup data. (the original tape will then return to scratch, if originally checked-in with scratch status). Those things are happening relatively frequently, and are not obligatory due to tape, but also to tape drives ... So reuse your tape and if you find it allways has problems, then throw it away ! (those tape have a warranty, you can send them back to the manufacturer) Hope it helped .... Arnaud
