User at this remote site has the task of helping with the backup-tape rotation on the local server, reports a pilot fish in the main office.&After working the user on a tape-drive cleaning issue, we suggested that she get a can of compressed air and blow out the drive,& fish says.&User called back in tears.
She said she sprayed the inside of the unit with WD-40 instead of air.&Pretty much in total disbelief, we were hoping that maybe she just shot one small burst.
When questioned about how much she sprayed, her response was, ‘I&m not sure.
While I was spraying I realized the can didn&t get cold, so I looked to see what was wrong.&
