As you can see on errpt output, probably cause of this problem should be
dirty read/write head or defective media. Based on this:
- Did you try using cleaning tape?
- Did you try restore from a new media?
You said that the tape drive was replaced recently, so I would expect that
the problem issue should be an old or damaged tape media. This usually
occurs with olders backups. My advice: when using DDS tape drives (4mm)
for important backups, do it at least once a week with two copies.
Best Regards
Alexandre Kazuo Sato.
