I read that a level 2 backup of /var done on 11/6/2000, is on tape 107
as the second file.

Another level 2 backup of /var done on 11/7/2000 has not made it to tape.

I note tape 108 was never used.  Perhaps skipped, damaged, ???

Amflush of the holding disk is normally a manual operation.  The holding
disk would not be cleared automatically UNLESS a recent option, autoflush,
was activated.
