The volume id involved is DOMTHU.  However, I know that the nightly backup
only initializes the first tape and the others are previously initialized
and rely on expiration dates.  I wonder if it might be IBMIRD?

By the way, is there a way to batch print this out?  I wouldn't mind
printing that out as part of the backup procedure.

I am going to use F10 and start fresh.

But this:

5. Display or print removable media session statistics
From:

Results in:  No session entries found

Rob

I think you said that you had checked SST for tape errors and had found
none. Nevertheless these figures smack of tape retry errors if you can't
find anything else in the job log, the history log or the operator message
queue.

You've probably considered this, but is it possible that tapes are cycled
in such a way that the same tapes are re-used on the same days (and these
same days are the days you notice problems) ? This might go some way to
explaining your errors.

I used to check the SST tape log on a weekly basis looking for any bad
tapes, but the report never indicated any that it thought were going bad -
not even tapes that caused a backup to fail due to a media error.
