Date: 18 Jul 1996 12:03:54 -0400 Organization: "Comshare, Inc." Lines: 8 Sender: mikep@valhalla.comshare.com Message-ID: <4sln9a$2ti@valhalla.comshare.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: valhalla.comshare.com Could someone tell me what this error means? My first inclination was to think that it meant I had hit the end of the tape, but the backup software that elicited this error indicated that it had only written out about 5% of the tape's capacity. Thanks for any info you can offer... -Mike Pelletier.
