Back up error--Out of phase

[Former Member]

Hi,

I used take successful backup on this tape using DB13.

But now I am getting following error:

Please help me to solve this problem.

Hi,

Take a look at the note 17163 BRARCHIVE/BRBACKUP messages and codes

the solution is indicated on the error message:

BR0236I Perhaps volume initialization with option '-i force' required

Thank you, for replies.

The problem has been solved.

I reinitialized the tape and the backup was successful.

re-label your tape and try again:

brbackup -i force
