Unrecoverable I/O or volume error.  This DUMP or  LOAD session must exit.

Explanation: This message is usually preceded by a more specific message describing a fault encountered in the lower I/O layers. One exception: this message is the only error indication when the Backup Server fails to start the multi-buffering subprocess that it uses to perform backup I/O.Reasons for this failure are the non-existence of the sybmultbuf program in the standard locations (-M option argument, Backup Server's current directory or $SYBASE/bin). User should check the installation. If the sybmultbuf program can be installed in the current directory or $SYBASE/bin, it is not necessary to restart the Backup Server.
