Tape write errors

2007-12-25 11:29:00

All of you recommend to clean up the tape drive. I have cleaned up this

drive every 10 hours of use and this problem has not gone away. Ok, the

last thing I would do is replace with the new tape drive.

Thanks all for your answers. It was a good number of replies.
