How would I do this, any hints? I'm running the director with -d 200
at the moment. Is this enough debug level? Or could I lower the debug
level? BTW, is there a way to add a timestamp to the debug output?
I 'hope' the same problem will appear again next weekend when the next
volume will be recycled (06D125L3).

Anything I can check before the next diff. backup on sunday? Any
special debug commands?

Of course! If it's a bug I would like to help fix it. If it's a
missconfiguration, I would like to find the error.
