Hi John/All.
Thanks John for your prompt response.
Is there any solution for this case, or should I replace this tape with a new
one? Since it is not convenient to use the btape command and loosing all the
data on the tape.
P.S: I tried to restore a job from the tape, and it was successful. Only when
trying to append on it where I am facing the problems.
Awaiting your feedback.
Many Thanks,
HishaM

I have seen this even with the current version of bacula. If the
bacula server reboots while writing to the tape drive the tape it is
using will be marked as Error because it will not be cleanly closed.
This is normal.
