More likely, some piece or hardware failed.

When you say that the RSJ drive is Z: to ZTBold, you are saying that's the
drive letter assigned to it by the OS. What does this have to do with the
drive G: you were talking about. Is this the drive letter RSJ writes to?

Can you still read your older backups? That is do they show the expected
.dat files that BA2K generates?

All of these errors seem to say that the world is having trouble reading
and/or writing to the CD drive.

What have you done to clean up and/or troubleshoot the CD drive?

>08-SEP-07 16:05:38 [id=0200] [rc1=fffd rc2=0000] [OS/2 API error code =
>15 (x000f)] An unexpected device error has occurred. Please collect all

Error 15 is a generic I can not read the drive content error report from
eCS/OS2.

Error 5 is access denied from the same OS.

What I recommend is that you reseat all the drive connectors. If the case
is dusty, clean it out with some compressed air. I'd also blow out the
dust from inside the CD drive.
