Log Shipping failing

Toeho

I am again having issues with log shipping and Sql Backup and starting to become extreamly frustraded as it takes alomost a week to get the tape sent to the dr site and then getting everything back ito sync, this is now the 4th time in the past 3 months that I have had to do this.

It would appear that if the log backup on the source server has any type of error, no matter what then the log will not restore on the source. I am getting the following error when trying to restore a log file that had the following error durring the backup. The backup file is now corupt because it couldnt copy it as part of the sql backup command??
