0905 - Summary/Objective
0906 -
090601 - Follow up ref SDS 15 0000, ref SDS 14 0000.
090602 -
090603 - After installing and configuring the full version of w2k, did another
090604 - backup of c13 so we have a data set of a working configuration.
090605 -
090606 - Used tape 14 data and overwrite the backup on 010203. ref SDS 12 0001
090607 -
090608 - The log of the verify operation seems to indicate it stopped before
090609 - completing, similar to the blue screen Stop failure that occurred
090610 - during verify on 010214. ref SDS 15 8J8F

091001 - Ran another full file back using tape 15 to test system.  This was
091002 - appended to the backup on 010211. ref SDS 14 0001
091003 -
091004 - So, tape 15 has two data sets.

0914 -   ..
091401 - Backup completed, begin verify.
091402 -
091403 - W2K monitor and hard drive turn "off" configuration has been set to
091404 - "never."
091405 -
091406 - Intel BIOS was set for Power Management to be off
091407 -
091408 - Therefore, the monitor should stay on throughout the operation, even
091409 - there is no keyboard I/O  activity.
091410 -
091411 -
091412 -  ..
0915 -
0916 -
0917 - 1402
0918 -
091801 - Verify completed.  No errors reported.
091802 -
091803 - Since Power Management has been disabled in the BIOS and in W2K, in
091804 - another record, this may account for verify completing, since the
091805 - monitor and hard drive did not enter suspend mode.

130602 - Exabyte Tape 21 Failed
130603 -
130604 - Follow up ref SDS 10 0001.
130605 -
130606 - While doing supplemental full file backups on c13 to recover from
130607 - failed w2k installation, tried to use the 2nd interim backup tape,
130608 - #21, and got message Novaback cannot read block #1.
130609 -
130610 - Tape #21 has interim backups through 010111, when tape #20 was begun.
130611 - So there was some history that tape #21 was okay, until today.
130612 -
130613 -      [On 010822 interim backup tape 20 also failed. ref SDS 18 0001
130614 -
130615 - Tried Novaback Tape Doctor program, but it could not read the tape to
130616 - attempt a solution
130617 - ..
130618 - Will try to erase the tape, as a way to clear it and retension.
130619 -
130620 - This seems to have worked to restore the tape so it can be used, but
130621 - raises question about integrity of other backups.
130622 -
130623 - Actually, it turned out not to work, so switched back to tape #20 for
130624 - interim backup.
