Hello list!

I'm backing up a binary database.  The database is 14gigs in size and is
offline during the backup.  The backup reports a status of 0 and I see
no errors in the logs.  However when I restore the database (which also
reports success) the database is only 1.3 gigs in size.  So, somewhere
out there in the land of 1's and 0's I've lost 13 gigs... or so it
seems.  Has anyone experienced this?  The DBA says that the database is
missing data as one would assume.  I've opened a case with veritas and
sent them the logs and they also confirm that as far as they can tell,
nothing is going wrong with the backup or restore.  Short of Jenny Craig
for databases... what in the world could be going on?

Suggestions please...
