Server 2003 Tape Backup Issues?
We have a Dell PowerVault 110T (LTO 2) Drive connected through a Adaptec 39160 SCSI Controller and are having constant problems. When it does actually work the device reports alot of time out errors (some of the files we are backing up are 1GB +) but i never thought that would cause such a problem? Are there any obvious things apart from file sizes which could cause the timeout issues with the tape drive??
* f you are backing up to a network share, ensure the UNC path you are backing up to is always accessible.
* Ensure the drivers for the media of the backup destination are up to date. Contact the manufacturer for information about updating your drivers.
* Ensure there is no excessive activity on the device you are backing up to.
Ensure the disk to which you are backing up has adequate disk space to hold the backup.
