Mathew

I have no idea if it has anything to do with the age of the tapes, but I am
seeing more & more of our tapes showing Lost VCR data.
I would be keen to know how this happens from one day when all seems ok to
the next day when we have problems.

A move data usually fixes things - but upto 4 or so hours are needed for a
'bad' tape sometimes.
