I hope someone can help a non-technical user. We have been using the tape backup process routinely every night for over a year until we began getting error messages and no backups about two weeks ago. We can't use backup to desktop since the server has 19GB on it, and I don't want to mess with backup2ws unless I have to. We are using a Sony SDT-10000 DDS tape drive mounted in the server and before this issue arose it has worked perfectly. We are using DDS4 media (brand new tapes), which should be good for 20GB. Is 19GB cutting too close to to the limit? Any suggestions as to what is causing the error and how to get around it will be appreciated. We are running SME 6.0 with no modifications that I am aware of. Here is the relevant log file from last night:
