1008 -
100801 - Follow up ref SDS 51 0000, ref SDS 50 0000.
100802 -
100803 - Used tape #9 for September full file backup.
100804 -
100805 -        121K files    7.8 GB       117 MB/Min       63 min
100806 -
100807 -   Compression on:  saved 23% media space.

100809 - Verify failed.  It crashed the system.  When I got up this morning the
100810 - computer had been booted.
100811 -
100812 -  ..
100813 - Over the past few days, interim backups have failed twice using tape
100814 - #21 which is a new 45M tape received from Exabyte to replace prior
100815 - tapes which had failed.
100816 -
100817 - An error log during verify says....

100819 -     File open error for I:\00\02\system32\Perflib_Perfdata_4f4.dat
100820 -     File open error for I:\00\02\Temp\WebPoolFileFile
100821 -
100822 -  ..
100823 - Looks like the verify nearly completed.  It got to very near the end
100824 - of the I drive, then the log is filled across the screen on
100825 - consequtive lines with a symbol that looks like a large "y" with
100826 - double dots across the top.  There are maybe 200 lines like this.
100827 -
100828 - The full file backup tape today is a 125M tape and so should not have
100829 - failed.
100830 -
100831 -  ..
100832 - This record failing with new tapes indicates a problem with the
100833 - Mammoth LT backup tape drive.
