So it seems to come down to the 19th entry being too big to fit on
the remaining tape after it had already written 9.7 something gigs
in the first 18 DLE's.
As someone else mentioned, much of that particular backup run was
level 0. Lets do another experiment, what do you get (post it
please) when you do an "amadmin /config/ balance"?
Oh, and I've quit trying to reply to your email account as posted in
the messages you send because they always bounce from a different
address that apparently isn't accessable for incoming email. I've
had many bounced messages, and had to open the bounce to see where
I'd sent it because the address it bounced from was not an address
I'd sent anything to. Train up a spam filter, its easier than
antagonizing the people who are trying to help you.
The email address that shows in the messages I send is real. And I
only get spam from two sources, my inbox, and an older computer
list I'm subscribed to. 99% of which goes straight to the
uce AT ftc DOT gov & I don't see them other than scanning the folder for
filter upchucks before it all goes back out.
