I have a daily backup routine that I have changed around (duh me) and now does not want to complete its daily cycle. I believe it gets stuck on backing up an NT partition using user-tar and compression on the server. Could this be a faulty tape or have I just jimmied something incorrectly? The log says: INFO planner Preventing bump of localhost://ntserver/ppidocs as directed, INFO planner Preventing bump of localhost://ntserver/businesswork as directed. -- Can someone please assist?
