NT Backup Problems

Hi,

I am having problems with NTBackup i am using the same script on all servers all have same hardware, but on one server, if i run a backup it completes and the log under verify reveals:

"Error: 4mm DDS does not contain archive media"

When i attempt to do a restore it doesnt work.

Can somebody please help me resolve this as i am struggling now.

Thanks.Chris

Hi Silicon Scream.

Posted there too but no reply :(

Thanks all the same :)

... but do you get the errors if you don't select verify?

Are the servers running different SP levels? Perhaps you have a different/corrupt version of 4mmdat.sys or whatever third-party tape driver you're using.

hi there,

we have selected verify.

they are all using SP4 with all the same updates.

They are HP C1533a DDS Tape Drives.

Thanks.
