I need a solution
We are trying to validate a recently configured EMC filler backups. We are restoring the data from full backup to the same filler. But all the restores are failing, from differnt tapes and different images. We tried to do image verifcation, that also showing errors. So far, we tried from three different tapes, no luck.
Its mounting the tapes, but not even reading
