- This reminds me of a not so funny story. One day, on our RA82s, we were
- logging a very large number of errors (over 100 appeared in an hour), so
- we started to back up that drive while waiting for field circus to arrive
- and replace the drive. About halfway thru the backup, the service guy for
- some reason, powered off the machine (it is in my opinion that when
- replacing drives, one need only dismount it, but this may not be the
- case in the above situation). Anyways, when my boss told him that we
- were doing a backup, he stated 'oh, dont worry, when I bring it back
- up, itll pick up right where it left off'
