Using a larger tape won't solve my problem. Several weeks ago, I had a similar problem when rearranging my partitions. I backed up all my partitions, and the tapes all verified fine (I had no partitions that needed a second tape at that time). Then I repartitioned and reformatted the drive, and attempted to restore from the tapes. My largest partition failed to restore completely, because QB asked for a second tape after only reading part of what was on the tape. The partition only had 80-some MB on it, and there _WAS_NO_ second tape. QB refused to believe there was no second tape. I was less than happy with QB just about then, since I've always been able to trust it previously. Luckily, I had an earlier backup and it only took me a few hours extra to get things right again. But I most definitely shouldn't have had to do that… 🙁 – dan
