After banging my head on the keyboard for a while, I built up enough courage to post this. The problem was an I/O error with one of the machines in the backup list. Apparently, 3 slices of one physical disk weren't functioning properly. It appeared to be a SCSI issue. I'm still not sure why nobody reported this to me in 2 weeks (I don't use the filesystems), but that's beside the point. I never understood why and it was careless to never figure out, but that one machine never logged the backup process in detail, like the other machines. I ended up altering my jobs to backup individual filesystems and found that some had I/O errors and caused the job to count the tape files wrong. So the confusion can be blamed on my laziness. I've learned alot more about work ethics than I have about backups, in this case. Thanks for all the help.

SUP-IMPORT-DUMP(1)					      General Commands Manual						SUP-IMPORT-DUMP(1)

NAME
sup-import-dump - import message state dump to Sup index SYNOPSIS
sup-import-dump [options] dumpfile DESCRIPTION
Imports message state previously exported by sup-dump into the index. sup-import-dump operates on the index only, so the messages must have already been added using sup-sync. If you need to recreate the index, see sup-sync --restore <filename> instead. Messages not mentioned in the dump file will not be modified. OPTIONS
--verbose, -v Print message ids as they're processed --ignore-missing, -i Silently skip over messages that are not in the index --warn-missing, -w Warn about messages that are not in the index, but continue --abort-missing, -a Abort on encountering messages that are not in the index (default) --atomic, -t Use transaction to apply all changes atomically --dry-run, -n Don't actually modify the index. Probably only useful with --verbose --version Show version information --help, -h Show help message SEE ALSO
