It will always fail if IE has crashed (any maybe even if it has run)
but sometimes it will fail if IE has not been run (eg over the
weekend).
Unfortunately the backup machine is used as a workstation during the
day so we can't strip it down (at least not completely - we are in
the process of trying to get rid of much as possible).

So far we have only got to the stage where we are using 1 tape per
set (we haven't brought all the clients online yet because of the
problems we are having). In that case I assume reseting the catalog
is equivalent to your suggestions. We were hoping to avoid having to
re-copy all the data already on the tape because of the difficulties
getting our G4s backed up (519 errors, see separate thread).
Thanks
