We have been using a Mountain tape backup system for several years with no
real problems on our 2.15C Arcnet system.  Recently, however, we are noticing
that the verifies are failing -- they are not saying that the tape copy does
not match the disk copy, but instead we are getting "File x not found on
disk", where x is often EVERY file in the backup.  However, sometimes this
error only occurs for certain small sub-directories.  And somethimes it does
not happen at all.

I have not noticed a problem finding or reading files from the fileserver with
any other programs, so I'm a bit stumpped.  Anyone ever notice similar
behaviour?

     Thanks,
