FWIW, and my apologies for not posting anything that will directly help you. When I moved from DDS to DLT a few years ago, I bought several *used* DLT drives, both 7000 and 8000. Perhaps it was my batch of drives, but I was unable to get reliable high quality results from any of the DLT 8000 drives. But the DLT 7000 have proven to be a good investment and I would buy more if the current drives die. However: I do not recall if I was getting the errors you are seeing. AND: I do agree that high quality cables and terminators are required. Watch for any bent pins on the connectors too. -- Dan Langille http://langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
