recieve the following error:

What program are you using to make your backup? I've seen one instance in
which updating firmware/driver for the storage controller resolved this
issue.

Thanks Kevin,

The issue was resolved by a reboot. BTW I am using Veritas backup exec v
10.0 to run the backup on sun hardware.

I have recently seen the same error on HP hardware. The reboot rectifies the
fault (ie it has not returned for a month)
