Yes its a DDS-4 20/40 DAT.

The tapes I use with this drive are 24GB.

I used 24000000 for my -K value.

would you suggest cutting that in half?

I used the same drive and tapes for the last 8 months without any issue and now I receive the same error every time a run a backup. I am just wondering if its not a system issue that would be causing the failure.
