Martin Simmons wrote one day and it is a very good idea: "I think the first thing is to check what is on the tape (without bacula-sd running) using unix commands such as:
mt rewind dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/dev/null dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/dev/null dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/dev/null dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/dev/null dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/dev/null " Input/Output error with this is a bad thing and surely point to a bad tape.
