    Hi all
    I have a DLT 35/70 (TZ89) on a Digital Alpha Server 4100. Now while running
    my backup script it bombs out of any random file with the following error
                    tar: write : I/O error
                    tar: Tape write error

    After that it continues skips the whole block but continues. The next
    instance of tar however executes properly. It seems the I/O error occurs
    when copying large files (eg Oracle dbf files)
    I have tried cleaning the drive using cleaning catridges and using brand new
    tapes to no avail

    Please help

    regards
    Tapiwa
