After 9.5 U4a - Tape fatal error. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error.

Post by JTT »

I have a customer deployment, that got 9.5 U4a applyd, but afer that, tape backup is broken.
Veeam Support - Case # 03501852

Has anybody previous experience or recomendations? A rollbackup to older Veeam version is not an option, because the Vmware cluster needs to be updated.

Hello,
the error you've faced is pretty generic and it's hard to recognize the real cause without logs review.
Please keep working with the support team and provide them with the logs. Thanks!

Robert,

Although you can wait for OP to post the resolution that they got from the support team, it is advisable to open a case of your own as your setups are probably different and the root cause might be different as well.

Thanks!

Thanks P.Tide, but as I'm running the Community Edition, I'm not entitled to support.
