Hi all
We are facing the following error when we are trying to restore our quality SAP server with a offline BRBACKUP (native backup over a tape) taken from a TSM backup facility onto a new server using BRRESTORE using HP Tape Drives.
The weird part is if we are lucky the restore does run after changing the tape drives a number of times. However we end up facing this error more often than ever. The error is the same after using a new tape / new backup for the restore.
Kindly provide any pointers that could help resolve this issue.
