18258: dbswritecheck: Read of first trailer failed

[Chris WIlliams]

I'm getting the above message when doing the nightly backup via a scheduled task. It's been working fine until this weekend when we ran out of disk space. I freed up space and still get this message when running manually.

Your help is appreciated

Well, this is a wild guess on my part since I haven't encountered this myself, but...
Sounds to me as if something happened when you ran out of space, (if it was in the middle of the backup)
and maybe the dumpfile is corrupted in some way.

Can you load the latest dump?
If you dump with INIT, will the message go away?
If with INIT won't do it, drop the dumpdevice and create a new dumpdevice?

Again, just guessing.
