Have you tried to do a restore before having to do a merge? Does that work or do you have an error there as well?<br />
<br />
It is always good practice to test your backups by restoring some random data after a backup. Have you checked<br />
the ca site for more info about the e6300 error? Have you used a cleaning tape recently? What DLT type are you<br />
using?

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm running Computer Associates Arcserve 2000 Advanced Edition(Version 7.0) with SP5. This software runs on a Windows 2000 Server(Compaq Proliant DL380) with external tape(DLT) autoloader. The system backs up all servers fine but when we attempt to do a merge of tapes (month or two before), we get the following message in the Activity Log and the merge fails<br />
<br />
TAPE E6300 Windows NT SCSI PORT Error[ABSL:2010 CMD:11h] SCSI Command Retry<br />
287 E3717 Unable to goto cluster (CLUSTER=8270015, EC:Hardware Error)<br />
<br />
Please help...!!!!

ARCSERVE ERROR MESSAGES

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
