Yeah. The tape ops figured I must have optimized something or gotten it to do better incrementals - it would ask for the tape, and spit it out in 15 minutes instead of the 40-45 it used to take. So it went un-noticed till a full cycle of tapes had gone by...
Guess who was totally mystified when we lost a disk, we restored from tape, and the system had time warped itself back 2 months? :) [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
