Hi Alan, Thanks for the hint, I am running bacula-sd as root and root was not a member of the tape group. I added it now:
[root@rcbackup ~]# ls -l /dev/nst4 crw-rw---- 1 root tape 9, 132 Mar 1 12:19 /dev/nst4 [root@rcbackup ~]# ls -l /dev/sg6 crw-rw---- 1 root tape 21, 6 Mar 1 12:19 /dev/sg6 [root@rcbackup ~]# id uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel),33(tape),495(sfcb) To test if this fixes it, can I just do a reload in bconsole or do I have to restart the bacula daemons ? I have a backup running.

Do the permissions and ownership of the drives/changer match that of the userid running Bacula-sd? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
