You're right Ed! We are currently trying to find the common denominator for this problem. So far, it appears that jobs that span 2 tapes after migration are the source of unsuccessful restores. We're going to test the tape migration of a smaller IS that will fit on one tape, and see if see get consistent restores from tape.
