Right now I'm having a fit with an Exabyte 8505.  I dump multiple AIX
filesystems to a tape
with this drive and occasionally one of these file systems is truncated
about 30 megs before
the end of the dump.  But the following dump is okay, along with the rest of
the tape.
How does this relate to ADSM?  This same tape drive is used to back up our
ADSM clients.  This is why I asked how reliable AUDIT is.  According to
AUDIT, my ADSM backups are okay.  Test restores
also show this to be true.  I'm hearing alot of bad rap about 8mm's in
general from oper-l and
this list as well.  I'm feeling uneasy.  Any advice?  Thanks.
