Hi all,
Key points:
1. Bacula 9.6.7 on Debian 11.
2. The tape is almost full with some old Bacula backups which I don't
care about.
3. I want to wipe it clean making space for new data.
4. I don't care about secure removal.
5. Ideally, I would prefer to leave the label and pool assignment as
they are.
6. The job should complete in under 10 hrs.
What's the best way to achieve this?
Use mt WEOF to write an EOF to the tape, then relabel it with the same
label.
Check 'man mt' for the correct syntax, of course. I don't currently
have mt installed because I have no tape devices.
