Spinning rust. I had a weird disk failure: it died after it was filled
in and should've had no i/o going on for several days. So volumes that
were on it were gone and I needed another backup of whatever was on them
asap.

(I have post-job rsync that makes a copy of the "current" disk, so if
that dies I can replace it [hopefully] without getting bacula's knickers
in a twist. So Murphy made sure the one that died wasn't the one I've a
copy of.)
