Everytime i run ntbackup on my Win2K Server i get the
following error message:

"The device reported an error on a request to write data
to media. Error reported : Hardware failure."

Backup terminates after this error. Sometimes backup
proceeds upto 50MB, 300 MB or 350MB and then the error is
displayed. The amount of data that gets backed up is
random, but the error is consistent.

We have checked/changed the DAT drive, cables, Terminator,
but the error remains the same.

Hardware: Dual Ultra320 Controller; AIC 7892. One channel
has HDD and the second CH has only the DAT drive on it. We
have also tried interchanging the CH. DAT drive is HP
DDS3, cable used is LVD/SE, terminator is also LVD/SE.

Any suggestions?

Seema,

Try changing the media. The media may be corrupt. Also
make sure that you have the latest drivers updated for the
backup device.

Hope this helps,
