Seatools tells me the drive is bad. It found bad sectors and 'repaired' 
them, then the disk passed the test. After the second failure Seatools 
found more bad sectors. I have to assume it's the disk.

  It is less than 3 months old. However I didn't register it so the 
default warranty ends in Nov. Good thing I keep receipts.

Thanks for you help.

That all worked beautifully. Right up until I left the BackupPC running
against a RAID array with a bad disk.

It failed again after about 30 hours. The symptoms are the same.

Ah, well.  "Smart" can't catch everything.  Do consider that you might
have some other hardware problem, though.  Power supply, data cable, etc.
