I'm using Bacula 7.0.5 on FreeBSD 10.1 (bacula-dir) and FreeBSD 9.3 (bacula-sd).
Sometimes I get dud tapes. Or at least, tapes my tape drive does not like. For example: ### 01-May 09:39 crey-sd JobId 205441: End of Volume "FAI022" at 11:11326 on device "DTL03" (/dev/nsa0). Write of 64512 bytes got 49152. 01-May 09:39 crey-sd JobId 205441: Error: Error writing final EOF to tape. This Volume may not be readable. tape_dev.c:941 ioctl MTWEOF error on "DTL03" (/dev/nsa0). ERR=Input/output error. 01-May 09:39 crey-sd JobId 205441: End of medium on Volume "FAI022" Bytes=10,784,406,528 Blocks=167,168 at 01-May-2015 09:39. 01-May 09:39 crey-sd JobId 205441: 3307 Issuing autochanger "unload slot 2, drive 0" command. ### See also, this from /var/log/messages: ### May 1 09:39:01 knew kernel: (sa0:sym0:0:1:0): WRITE FILEMARKS(6).

Best practice might be to rerun the backup, but this backup is also on disk. What do you usually do with tapes such as this? — Dan Langille http://langille.org/
