No problem, I finished them here on hodge. They completed without
errors. When I finished, after deciding that I had nothing better to
do, I started making a second copy of all the volumesets. This could
be useful in that we'd have one up-to-date set of tapes for the
cabinet in the office, and another to store in Building 11.
Unfortunately, the attempt at a duplicate backup of the rann volumeset
failed after about an hour with a tape I/O error. The duplicate backup
of the rbud volumeset completed successfully. I didn't try rsqr. So,
1) we have a complete backup of the sipb cell for the first time
since mid-January
2) we still need a new tape drive asap, since it's really
inconvenient to have to wait around and be ready to restart the
backup whenever there's an I/O error (about 1/3 of the time...)
