Ooops, I failed to reply to Ros's questions in her message. Our server
is Alpha DS10 (since March 2000) running TruUNIX 4.0f (if I remember
correctly) and we use HP DDS-3 tapes. We've had frequent backup failures
which could not be explained and changed all the tapes and even the tape
drive itself but to no avail. Finally we figured out that the culprit
was the lead connecting the drive to the server!
