7504
Bad tape format (Bad length for a DP2 tape file label).
Cause. An attempt was made to restore a tape, but a BACKUP tape in the proper format could not
be found. There are three possible reasons:
BACKUP was stopped in the middle of a backup operation, resulting in an incomplete BACKUP
tape. The "Bad Tape Format" was detected when unwanted or meaningless information was
encountered at the interruption point on the tape.
The BACKUP tape was corrupted in some way.
Either BACKUP produced an invalid tape or RESTORE is not checking correctly due to a
software error.
Effect. RESTORE terminates.
Recovery. If the invalid format is the result of one of the first two causes, the files cannot be restored.
If you suspect the problem is a result of the third cause, contact your service provider and provide
all relevant information:
