Sounds more like a bad tape to me. Data is stored on the tape in blocks. -----Original Message----- From: Ron Leach [mailto:rleach@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 29 May 2003 11:04 To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Tape Device Error Using win2k pro. In the event viewer my tape device is giving the = following error: "The device, \Device\Tape0 has a bad block." Can't seem to find any info. Has anyone seen this before? Is tape = drive going bad? Data seemed to backup ok. It's when I try to restore = that this error comes up.
