About common configuration problems

Identify and fix the source of the configuration problem that causes data loss. The most common configuration error is a failure to configure the driver for variable length blocks.

A less common error may be in the tape driver's configuration data, such as in the /kernel/drv/st.conf file on a Solaris system.

Information about tape driver configuration is available.

See the NetBackup Device Configuration Guide, available at the following URL:
