"Read-onlyness," the difference between making a tape read-only in NetWorker
vs. setting the physical write protect tab, and the fact that making a tape
read-only in NetWorker will not prevent it from being relabeled.

Not really a misunderstood thing, but the top four questions most frequently
asked by clients:

1. "How long is my next backup going to take?"

2. (This one's not as frequent but always asked with a certain urgency) "How
long is my restore going to take?"

3. "Why is my backup/restore so slow?"

4. "Are we there yet?"
