Problem BACKUP SOFTWARE IS REPORTING AN ERROR Solution One of the following situations may have occurred: v The drive needs cleaning. Always try cleaning the drive before you assume the cartridge is bad. Be sure to use a VXA tape cleaning cartridge. For more information, see "Using cleaning cartridges" on page 3-4. v The cartridge is incompatible with the tape drive. Be sure to use a VXA tape cartridge. v If you are trying to write data, the cartridge may be write-protected. Check the switch on the edge of the cartridge. If the switch does not cover the opening, the tape is write-protected. If the switch covers the opening, you can write to the tape. Use a pen or small screwdriver to move the switch. (See "Setting write protection on the tape cartridge" on page 3-5.) v The cartridge is not inserted properly in the drive. Remove the cartridge, then reinsert it and retry the operation.
