6 years old, so probably written with NB 3.2 or 3.4. AIT-2 media, five
tapes, five fragments, and fragment 4 was damaged in such a way that NB
could not finish the catalog import phase 2, but the data I wanted was
on tape 3.
Support gave me a tech doc that tells NB to keep the catalog data for
all images found prior to a failure. Without this method, it would fail
on the import and discard all the previous work. (several hours!!)
The AIT-2 media was used in a small tape changer that lived in an
environment where drywall dust was present during construction,
rendering a number of the tapes faulty. Don't do drywall work in a live
datacenter!!
