- It doesn't actually backup everything.. It misreads something and quits.
- It also has trouble with volumes.. Yes, I know the one.
- I *DID* have to try and restore from 2 DAT backup tapes (whole system was
- nuked) and it wouldn't work. I called HP and they e-mailed me the patch in
- about 10 minutes. Doesn't get any better then that..
