    Can you post your resume, so I can make sure I never hire you. We've used DLTs for a while -- early 90's -- and we've had tapes fail, but we've never had a restore fail. You're either grossly incompetent, or you've been using shitty consumer grade hardware in the enterprise.

    And, trolls, using shitty consumer grade hardware in the enterprise is a symptom of bad management, not necesarily incompetence.
