I'm using the Windows interface. QIC-40 tapes are all named "Media Created on
3/1/04". I can schedule a test backup of a folder and it runs on schedule,
but the file selection I need to back up generates that error. It seems like
all options and advanced options are the same. I'm going to try editing the
working selection and seeing if that goes.
