Christophe:
Do you have the option of dropping back to the level of PAR drivers that I am
using? It might help narrow the problem down if you could try it. Do you get
the problem if you use DOS to copy files to and from the PAR drive — this
would eliminate PAR.EXE from the equation and leave only the file drivers.
Let me know if I can help out further.
Re tape backup, I have a Sony SDT-5000 4mm DAT drive set up and seem to be able
to backup the PAR drive, I still can't verify or restore without loading the
.ANI files onto my DOS drive, however. They way I verify now is to restore
from DOS and see if the .ANI file plays. It turns out to be about as fast to
copy the files from PAR to DOS then back up from there, the prolem is that I
don't have enough space to back up the entire PAR drive.
