the log file path in the general settings. Close the program and re-open it and it will
have returned to the original path.
- Change: initializing tape drive could sometimes take hours depending on the tape size because it always tried to
determine the number of headers on the tape. Since the format of the tape for N archives on a single tape is
[header 1] [data 1] [footer 1] ... [header N] [data N] [footer N], it would have to seek past very long data for to
get to the next header. Every time the tape was initialized it would go to the start of each header. Most backups
though put a single large backup per tape. Which means that most of the time you don't need to seek past the entire data block. We now check to see if the first header has a matching name to the file we want to restore, and if so we don't seek past the header.
