Hi,

Can you tell me your database version .

Upgrade your brtools & also check tape characteristics ,block size must be '000' instead of 512. Initialize the tape again & try to take the backup

Try the following:

- login as oraard

- exeucte manually

dd obs=64k bs=64k if=/oracle/ARD/sapdata1/sr3_1/sr3.data1 of=/dev/null

doest that work?
