What type of drives are you using?  We had problems doing restores from
backups which seemed to have run successfully but got bad image header
errors when doing the restores.  We are using STK9840 drives.  I never had
this problem with DLT7k drives.  I got zero help from either Veritas or STK
on this issue.

How is your db backup? You may have to use it.

I have a problem relating to the previous thread about the NBU
database.  Below is the output of bpadm --> reports --> problems. 
Unbeknownst to me, an admin had tried a restore on a very large server
with many small files yesterday.  He had chosen a large range of dates
and the filesystem where the NBU db filled up.  Its otherwise just fine
being in a more compressed state.  We recompressed the files, but now,
I've gotten these errors below and am not sure what to make of it.  I
searched through the mailing list archives and NBU newsgroup on this
issue, and didn't find too much, but someone had suggested using '#
bpdbm -consistency' might fix the problem.  

The files its cacking on are all 0 length and were created at the time
the filesystem filled up.  Any thoughts?

Thanks,

RCA
