Hi!

Just wanted to let you know that I came across the exact same error

Error writing final EOF to tape. This Volume may not be readable.

a couple of times with 2.4.2 using a Quantum DLT VS1 drive connected to
Adaptec 29160LP. I don't think that the tape is really defective as
bacula states. I could do working backups on these tapes later. Maybe
its a problem with positioning (forwarding) the tape to the right position?
If there is still interest in this issue I might search for the
corresponding job-output.
