I got the write error when I do backup /misc partition. But it is OK to
back up / with the same tape. That means the tape is a good tape.

DUMP: Write error 99322 feet into tape 1

In /var/adm/messages:

Oct 31 12:55:30 nisc2 unix: WARNING: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@3,1/st@5,0 (st12):

What possible causes error?

Thanks in advance!
