ntbackup restore problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


I have a client that is using a Quantum DLT-V4 on a Windows 2003 server
with ntbackup to perform backups. I recently tried to restore a single
file from one of the tapes and received an error:

"An inconsistency has been enountered on the requested media"

The backups seem to be performing properly, as there have been no
errors pertaining to a failed backup on the server. I tried to restore
from multiple different tapes and I get the same error. Any ideas on
what i can try to resolve this?
