Thanks for the suggestion Terry. Some people from Mirapoint were logged
onto one of our servers last night and we kicked off a backup while they
watched the system. They feel the backups abort because of an inability
to write to any of the NDMP devices on our Legato server. When I kick
off a backup, it also goes from /dev/rmt/0cbn to /dev/rmt/3cbn, then to
/dev/rmt/6cbn and /dev/rmt/9cbn and places them in service mode while
mounting the same tape in each device after the previous one is put into
service mode.

doing a local backup isn't an option for us, unfortunately.

I just emailed the results of "savegrp -vvvvv -l full " to Legato
tech support to see what they say.
