Jeff-
I will certainly check that as well.

And as for some of the other suggestions...
I went to the Overland site and downloaded the newest firmware for my tape
drive as well as H/P's StorageWorks Library and Tape Tool which works pretty
well (and free). It runs a number of tests on the drive and also updates the
firmware. 

So this evening I will be using new tapes on a freshly cleaned and firmware
upgraded drive and will see what comes of it.

I am not sure if this is the problem or not, but we have had backups stop in
the middle when a user account has been disabled.  The backup would stop at
the disabled user account. Hope this helps Jeff Jesus loves you

Dan-
Thanks for the response. 
I actually ran a backup with a brand new tape this morning and ran into the
same problem.

Have you tried a new set of tapes as there could be a bad block? You
probably have but just a suggestion

Cheers

Excuse the cross post...

We are having a problem with our nightly backups.

Win2K file server
NTBackup running "Normal" backups only
Backing up various partitions on 10 servers through mapped drives. 
Overland Storage single tape unit

This has been running fine for quite sometime, but in the last week we have
had NTBackup stop in the middle of the backup for no apparent reason. The
message in the backup log is always; The network disk drive has stopped
responding. Backup set aborted.

For Example-
Backup started on 7/20/2004 at 1:09 AM.
The network disk drive has stopped responding. Backup set aborted. Backup
completed on 7/20/2004 at 1:17 AM.
Directories: 112
Files: 3317
Bytes: 100,031,918
Time:  7 minutes and  41 seconds

I am not aware of any changes to this server.

I have recreated all of the backup jobs and power cycled the backup unit. 
I have searched on both the MS site and Googled for the "The network disk
drive has stopped responding. Backup set aborted." and only managed a single
hit for the exact phrase and that was for an NT4 box from 1995. I have
checked the Event Viewer and only see the standard 8000 and 8001 messages. 

I tried to run a manual backup for the two servers not backed up last night
and received the same message.

Has anyone run into this before or have suggestions?
