When we try to list the contents with BACKUP/LIS, we get an error about the sector having a bad CRC block in it's header. I was wondering, does this happen often? I've never seen it until recently. Are there any steps to take to prevent this? Note: We are trying to list the contents of the journal, not the tape. Listing the tape completes successfully. Thanks in advance.
