We use a Workstations Solutions Exatape drive to back up our Apollo net.
It is attached to a DN4000 running SR10.1 BSD.  We use it with the basic
software, rbak/wbak, not with Workstation Solutions special backup
system.

Most of the time it works find.  But sometimes when it is being written
to with wbak, it seems to cause a spontaneous reset of the node!
Yesterday it reset the node which then got through its boot up sequence
through init, but then returned PM$_Init (OK) and stopped with the ')'
prompt.  Typing go does not help.  Someone suggested the DM may have
been corrupted.

Anyone seen anything like this.  I really need to get the node up to run
backups.  Thanks.
