Hi,

I was trying to perform an online backup to a dat tape in a SQL database when I got this error:
* I/O error 23(Data error (cyclic redundancy check)) detected during read of BUF pointer = 0x1424f040, page ptr = 0x21792000, pageid = (0x1:0x948fe), dbid = 10, status = 0x801, file = [path][databasename]

Can Someone help me ?

Thanks,

Moisés Fernando

So what do you mean by online backup? Are you backing up the MDF and LDF files directly to tape? If so, you can't do that. If you are performing the backup via the BACKUP command, please post the command.

When I said a "OnLine Backup", I just want to say that the database is being used by applications at this moment. The backup is performed by Enterprise manager.

Is the tape local to the database server? What happens if you back it up to disk first then copy the file to tape?

Tara,

Yes, it is. We can't do this because we don't have enough disk space.

If this is SQL Server 2000, do you have service pack 3a installed? Have you been able to backup the database to the DLT before?

No, It's a SQL7 database. Yes.

Got service pack 4 installed then? Have you tried using a different tape (maybe the tape is bad)?

Tara,
Do you think this problem can be a hardware failure (a bad block on disk, for example)?

Yes it is very possible. I would clean up some disk space immediately, get a full backup, then investigate hardware problems. I would also install service pack 4.
