Okay, so my tape drive arrived in the mail from home yesterday.
I set it up on the computer and scheduled a full backup for 2 am.
This morning, there was a verification error. "Damn", I thought,
"something broke in shipping." Then tonight I set up a job to
try again for tonight just in case something different happened.
As I was swapping tapes I noticed that something looked funny.
I look again.
The write-protect tab is set. I set it so I wouldn't
accidentally overwrite it.
*sigh* I am so stupid sometimes. So I added a new check to
/usr/local/bin/make-backup to give a better error message the
next time.
