Dear All,

Here is something diabolic to watch out for in rev 5.

If you try to load rev 4 backup tapes on a rev 5 server it insist that the
services are stopped, a bit rough but what the heck.  So you shut the server
down and start loading back a few files from an old rev 4 backup, because
someone deleted them accidently, quite reasonable you say.  Well here's the
crunch, when you bring the services backup ALL THE ARL'S HAVE BEEN CLEARED
on that file service except for the directories you loaded back. SHEEEEEET!!
