Hi, I have been searching for this for a while, but all I could find relates to "retention", as in, the period of time to keep records of files/volumes/medias in a system.
What I'm trying to achieve it retension, or the act of seeking a tape to the end, then rewinding it. My question is two-fold: a) I want to do a retension of all my tapes. "mt -f /dev/st0 retension" produces no output and immediately quits. It appears to do nothing. b) I would like to have my Bacula system automatically start a job by first retensioning the tape, and then doing the backup. Or it could be at the end. Or I can schedule a monthly retension job, whatever. I just want to have some way of automating the process of retensioning my tapes. My drive is a Seagate DAT72 internal, SCSI. I believe these are the same as DDS5 cartridges? The host is Linux Debian Etch, on which runs both the director and the storage daemon.
