I have a P4 2.4, 512Mb RAM, Intel mainboard with an Ecrix VXA-1 TapeDrive, and two WD IDE HDD.
The email showing a successful backup appears every day. By mistake, some critical files were deleted so I elected to restore from backup after which this was received:
Restoring from tape was successful.
