    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

    ... 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.
