Here is another anomoly I discovered this morning as I was watching the backup of the NOTES_TPOOL to Offsite_pool. After the backup finished I saw this: 05/14/01 11:12:16 ANR1341I Scratch volume U00086 has been deleted from storage pool NOTES_TPOOL. Q Vol showed this, before this particular tape was deleted. U00086 NOTES_TPOOL 3590CLASS 18,644.8 100.0 Full Q volhist shows this tape assigned to this tape pool in April and now deleting this morning. But for what reason? There were no other processes running except this one.
