Well, unhappy management springs to mind.
But for the short period you are talking about, can't you do one or more
of
1) Add extra disk storage
2) Step up reclamation
3) Look at tape reuse delay
4) Check whether you have any filespaces not accessed for a long time. Are
their backups still required?

Out of scratch tapes?






Folks,

UNfortunately as a result of miscommunication with our supplier,
we will be running out of scratch tapes in the next few days.
We should have a new shipment returning on Monday but, in
the meantime, it appears that we will run out Sunday evening.

Aside from missing backups, what other repercussions can we expect?

Thanks sooooo much!
