I read in one of the magazines (I think it was either "Windows" or
"Windows User") that Central Point Backup finds an unusually high
number of bogus errors on *any* tape.  My experience with PC Tools 7.1,
which includes Central Point Backup, confirmed that for me.  It found
errors on new tapes with my CMS Jumbo 120 tape drive that CMS's software
said were fine.  According to the magazine article, Norton's Backup also
was able to use the tapes that Central Point Backup said were bad.

Although its user interface is a bit crude, I'm using CMS's software
instead of Central Point Backup.
