Hi I have the output of amverifyrun below. I am wondering whether it's likely to be a physical tape media problem or something else.
The first message about the tape not being at the beginning, I thought I'd fix with 'mt rewind' prior to running amverifyrun-- but that has not fixed the problem. Clearly amrestore can read the tape because it finds the tape's label and the date stamp of a backup. Can anybody point me in the right direction with this one? Thanks s.
