I recently wrote about copying jobs with a very good backup tool. My goal was to keep copies of the backups on both disk and tape. Since then, I started playing around with a little webpage to keep tabs on what’s in my tape libary. Today I noticed a little problem. I have backups from 75 days ago that are waiting to be copied to tape.

I’ll just let you think about why this happened. Yesterday, this queue held jobs that were about 16 hours old. How did this old job get into the queue?
