I'm not quite willing to accept that's the only thing (I intend to test
more and do some more logreading =), since I had another report (should've
quoted that) on the same flush that said tape used was 23% or so.

The media used to be quite adequate as this is not a big backup. It might

tape the stuff elsewhere).
