CCS- Can you help me with a problem I'm having with Quarterback? I have an Amiga 3000, with two partitions on the internal drive, and an external tower with a 40meg SyQuest, and an Archive Viper 150 tape drive. I also have a NEC CD-ROM attatched to the tower. It seems when I try to do a backup of a SyQuest cartridge, the verification always fails due to "unreadable" files, and files with "different contents". I have done complete backups of my SyQuest cartridges before, with no problem. My previous backups were done before I had the CD-ROM, so I removed it and returned the hardware to the way it was last time I backed up. The problem still persists. The only other thing I can think of is that there has been one or two revisions to Quarterback (I'm using version 5.0.4) since my previous backups. I am able to backup to a file on the RAM disk, but not to the tape drive. Backing up either of my internal partitions is no problem. I am now using a 3M tape, since the Sony tapes I used before are no longer available. I've ruled out tape defects since I took the first tape back (thinking it was bad), and have had Syquest backups fail where I had a backup of my internal partition succeed. Any info you may have would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!!!! – Derek <<<< leaving the work to AutoPilot >>>>
