Backup Central

People,

Any idea what driver should be used for this configuration, we have just recently migrated a physical instance to virtual, every time we runa backup the tapes get marked as full at random positions.

Log contains WFM and Decode errors.

The main driver we have installed dates back to 2002, we also have the LTO5 hotfix installed.

The most obvious thing is to use the tape drive manufacturer's driver.

All we get is the hotfix as Windows 2003 uses the native in built
driver, the hotfix is susposed to add compatability for LTO5 in Windows
2003

Anyone else have any ideas?
