Hello,
I am new to data protector, i have system that everyday at night Data protector makes copy of tha backup on DLTS tapes and i change DLTS tapes every day. My process is designed like this that every night at 7 pm the Data protector formats the inserted DLTS tape and after that makes Backup on DLTS tapes and next morning i take out the tape and put the new one of the next day. Last friday i did not change the tape, so the the tape of friday remained in the system till monday. When i controlled the Process state that either the back has been done or not, i saw that there was error in backup process. Now from that day when i put the DLTS tape for the back and try to format it gives follow error:
" Error 4018: Bad media: the media can only be read"
Error Description
"The last time it was written to the media, this had signaled a bad block during writing.The media is marked in the database as read-only. If you are sure the media is not defective,you can delete it from the database and reformat it."
I have tried 6 Different DLTS tapes but gives the same error during format process.
I need a help because it is very important for me. Thank you in advance
