Mixing topics is ok. Better in this case. All the information is in one email thread.
26-Feb 12:41 debian1-sd JobId 31: Warning: For Volume "000008L4": The number of files mismatch! Volume=4 Catalog=3 Correcting Catalog This message is fairly normal if you restore your catalog backup and lose some information on backups that exist. There is catalog information encoded on disk with each backup. 26-Feb 12:41 debian1-sd JobId 31: Error: Backspace record at EOT failed. I have not seen this error before, but I am not extremely experienced with Bacula. I suspect your theory is correct. Warning: destructive / dangerous process ahead. I have read that if you use mt to rewind the tape and then write eof to the tape (end of file), it will fool bacula into thinking that the tape is empty. If you want to wipe the bacula catalog in your postgres server, there should be scripts that do this in /opt/bacula/scripts (default location, maybe different on debian). The Mt command is something like mt -f /dev/yourtapedrive rewind mt -f /dev/yourtapedrive -write eof Check the command syntax I only vaguely remember them. If not clearing bacula database prob need to purge volumes from catalog (or maybe delete). Remember, these commands are dangerous and have sharp edges. After using the Mt command may need to relabel tape. Robert Gerber 402-237-8692 r...@craeon.net On Mon, Feb 26, 2024, 5:49 AM Stefan G.
