Hi there,

What does it mean when I get these four notifications at the same time:

- backupserv's tape mount request
- Saveset marked suspect
- Volume marked full
- Verify Label failed on unload

All four contain:
NetWorker media: (alert) waiting for LTO Ultrium-4 tape xxx on server

This notification was issued this morning yet the tape now still is in the 
drive (shown as 100% appendable) and backup doesn't really proceed.

It was in there before these notifications, and it's in there still after:
