Hi Kern,
Thank you, your reply was most helpful. I am making progress, slowly but
steadily. Hopefully, will have our new backup system up and running early next
week.
Would you recommend building & installing version 7.9 instead of 7.4.4, which

Hi,
Below is the SMART TapeAlert output I received after running btape 'test' and
'speed' tests on a new IBM ULTRIUM-HH5 LTO-5 drive using brand new Fujifilm

Hello,
Thanks for pointing this out. I have made a few updates to the 7.9
