I'm a little unclear on certain aspects of this ...
Have you made other backups successfully? Did you try a different tape?
Sometimes tapes ship from the factory with problems. Is this the same
tape that you used for the tests?
We had a drive go bad on us and the errors that Bacula was spewing out
were the most cryptic things you could imagine. It became obvious when
we visited the datacenter, as the drive had a flashing error code on
the front.
