I tried to restore a database from archive (Online version 5.01), and got the message: "Error reading from tape device, Error No. = 5." I've tried to RTFM, but can't seem to find any reference to the meaning of "Error #5". What does this error mean? Better yet, is there any reference to what all the tape errors are and what they mean? Thanks. -- . . . | . . . . . . . . . 1 . . . . . . . . . 2 . . . . . . . . . 3 . . . . .
