"d" is for "tape"

Something is wrong. Very wrong. Backup Exec is still working. That's over a day. It's not crashed or had a funny 10 minutes where it doesn't work. None of this "server paused" rubbish. Still meanwhile in the world of the admin's maintaining it, we've had a good old debate about how the whole thing is supposed to work, how symantec interpret "tape" backups when they're actually disk backups.

The only thing we did resolve is that the "d" in Backup Exec 10d means "tape". Yes. it means Tape. Which is probably how Symantec would have preferred we kept things.
