That wouldn't be such a problem except that it will do this to almost every tape in my library. I have had the drive hardware checked in the library and had both drives replaced. Did not have the picker checked. This problem does not seem to be happening during a regular data backup - only during the DB backup. Anyone seen this before or have any ideas.....?????
