Does anyone have an idea what is happening? I am using one here with success and have not seen this problem. I have been using it since the first snap (not on 2.0R). I am running 3/22 snap now, not -current. I have noticed a problem with the last file on the tape. Could this be what you are seeing? I have placed a dummy file as the last file to be backed up to get around this issue. My controller is a BT946C. Regards, Mark Hittinger bugs@win.net
