   We had a huge system that we were backing up, with our best tape
   drive a TK70.  In order to fit on few enough tapes to complete
   the daily backup daily, we had the user set all the object files 
   and object libraries /nobackup during the build process, with the 
   understanding that they would have to rebuild from source if we
   ever lost the disk.

   It was a third party disk with a bug in thier controller, and from
   time to time we lost the content.  We found and fixed a few mistakes
   in the build process this way, but never lost a byte of data that
   had been generated by a human.
