Not sure what your actual problem is.

Yes, the FD needs access to *all* files for backup, so in most cases it has to run as root. The Director does not need any special rights and the SD only access to the tape/loader devices so they run as limited user. > Thanks for giving any insight. > > Kind Regards, > Vincent > > Operating system: Debian Dapper x64 > > root@TAPESERVER:/etc/init.d# tapeinfo -f /dev/nst0 > Product Type: Tape Drive > Vendor ID: 'CERTANCE' > Product ID: 'ULTRIUM 2 ' > Revision: '1783' > Attached Changer API: No > SerialNumber: 'D33PD13P' > TapeAlert[21]: Clean Periodic:The tape drive needs to be cleaned at > next opportunity.
