here are the particulars:

Mac+, F-5.3/S-3.2, 2Meg, DataFrame-20, LoDown-60Meg tape;
software: LoDown-1.4V

when I fire up the back-up program from the DF, I ran, repeatedly, into
the following problem:

the program runs for quite a while, backing up the disk to tape, when:

	Error Writing one file
	-> not backed up

	Error ID:	-4
	System Error:	-36	[an I/O error, I believe]
	in  dobackup		[a routine in the LoDown software, I suspect]

a nice OK-button is provided, which when you click it, turns into a

	BOMB  ID=25		[memory full, unless I am mistaken]

when I run the back-up program from a floppy, it works just fine.
Has anyone seen similar?  any thoughts?

PS: the "technical" rep I talked to at LoDown blamed the DataFrame ....
	she was otherwise "pretty dense" .... I can't recommend that
	anyone waste their time calling them.  Of course, their software
	identifies the authors as 2 other companies, one is Chrystal Canyon
	(LoDown-1.4V) the other is Fractal Software.  now to find a phone
	number for them ....

PSPS:  I saw that AST-2000 problem report in the Delphi-digest 2.51 which
	sounds similar.  as a matter of fact, that's what reminded me that
	I meant to post this message.
