Not sure if the tapes were permanently damaged or just had lost data. We ended up switching to a 16 disk server running backuppc. Not nearly the same capacity

Not sure if the tapes were permanently damaged or just had lost data. We ended up switching to a 16 disk server running backuppc. Not nearly the same capacity, but incrementals, deduplication, and compression made up the difference. Also sadly the great price/performance brand with great service (overland) got bought up by the radically more expensive larger company and all the prices doubled 8-(.
