Hi Everyone,

Dennis' comment on the number of failures on MO made me wonder how much 
of a problem everyone is having.  Dennis said 4 of 20 MOs failed in his 
hands.  I use MO storage for a large number of users and have had 3 out 
of 45 fail.  Could you relate your MO experiences back to me.  Also, if 
you use zip disks how many failures have you had?  If you have had 
failures were you able to recover your data from zip or MO disks.  Do 
you double back up data?  Do you use a utility that makes recovering 
data easier.  Please relate only things you tried.  I do not want to 
experiment with 10 different data backup or recovery programs.  I will 
be glad to post my findings back to the flow group.
