Reminiscing - I once worked on a "backup server" that ran NetWare 3.11 and QIC80 drive. The customer was quite convinced their backup was fine. They could hear the QIC going with the standard weeeeee, tick, tick, tick, weeeeeee, tick, tick, tick sound every night as they were leaving. When I ejected the drive, the tape was nearly clear. All the material have been wiped clean off of it, and was sitting at the bottom of the server in a neat gray, brown pile (at least that is how I remember it, & I am sticking to it). Since they never had to restore, they never checked.
