Sorry I forgot to add in. I haven't tried changing the device to nsa2. We do
have clients backing up to this server. The problem did not present itself
during testing but at that point we didn't have a lot of overlapping clients.
The problem is also not very consistent.
It's also interesting that it shows up in the tapes assigned to the incremental
and differential pools but has not shown up at all in the pool for full backups.
Thank you,
James

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
