Only problem I have ever had with a scratch is a bad tape part way
through. When the *only* copy of your system is on a set of tapes, you
better make sure you have backup. You wouldn't run your system without
backup, would you? That means take the time to make a second set. No
ifs, ands, or buts.

No resumes here, but good luck anyway.
