SUMMARY

Compaq's Turbo DAT 4/16 tape drive on Compaq Proliant 1500 P-100 system fails when performing a full tape backup. The tape backup fails at the end of the first tape and before requiring a second tape. The differential tape backup works normally.

MORE INFORMATION

The full tape backup is hitting the end of media. Fixing this would require fixing the contents of the catalog.
