Hello,
You should do three things:
1. Run btape "test" and "fill" commands. The latter is very slow.
2. Look at your system log to see if you are getting any errors.
3. Turn on the directive in the default SD config file that checks
for tape alerts. It can provide early warning if you have bad tapes.
