Has anyone out there have any horror stories or good news stories having to do
with BACKUP/NOCRC.  This installation is looking at going to /NOCRC with our
TU78 tape drive.  There is currently an article in The DEC Professional (July
1987, pp 115-116) that recommends /NOCRC and I have read something in The
Pageswapper (DECUS VAX SIG Newsletter) where someone from DEC was heard to say
NEVER use /NOCRC.

What is happening out there with BACKUPs to optimize the procedure and minimize
management time.
