[SQL STATE 4200](Error 3013)

  • I need some help here. I have backups that run each night to tape. The last 2 nights the jobs have failed and I have been given errors like the one in the subject line as well as this, which is what the logs are defining the problem as:

    BackupTapeFile::SkipFileMark: SetTapePosition failure on backup device '\\.\Tape0'. Operating system error 23(Data error (cyclic redundancy check).).

    Can anyone help me with what exactly is going on here. This is a production database and although I have other means to get me by for now, I can not have this job failing on a nightly basis.

    Thanks for any IMMEDIATE help anyone can give me.

  • How large your database is? If you have sufficient disk spaces, You can backup the database to the local disks first and move it to tapes later.

  • Wich tape options are you giving to the Backup statement?
