This seems like a very strange issue.
We have a Quantum DXi8500 which we use as a VTL, this is where all of our primary backups go first. From there we use SLPs to create physical tapes to keep offsite (via a Quantum i2000).
Basically our issue is we can restore from physical tapes with no issue, but when we try to do it with a NDMP job it fails when we try from physical. If we restore from virtual it works fine (I am assuming it works fine since the VTL in an NDMP host, but the physical library is not) Support is being less than helpful blaming our filer, but as I said, virtually we can restore fine, but once we write to tape and try to restore from it it fails.
Just wondering if anyone has run into this before, we've been sending logs to support but getting nowhere it seems.
