Re: [Bacula-users] is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:1023 Re
Someone wrote an end of file on the beginning of the Volume, you probably should see if there are multiple files on that tape. If so, you may be able to recover some valid data after the tape end of file, but this is generally tricky and time consuming. btape has commands that will allow you to scan the tape to see what is on it. However, be careful. It is also easy to write on the tape with btape. Better set the read-only tab before referencing it.

>From your posts: "during the restore, it selects the 3 other tapes correctly, but it does not complete the restore, because of the 4th tape. " I suppose you are saying that Bacula restores the files in the others 3 volumes and then fails the job just in this last tape. If this is correct, you should have the files in the first 3 volumes in the restore directory even if the restore job fails on error because of the fourth tape. Also, you can use bextract to restore files in the other 3 volumes, even if you delete them from your catalog. This way, you can relabel this tape and try to reuse it (if it is not fisically damaged).

I used btape to check it and idd it says it has no files on it and no label either. sigh... now, if I relabel that one tape. Will it have impact on a restore with the other 3 tapes? I, myself have no other options either, after troubleshooting this matter.

Yes I know that the database indicates there is data on the tape. At this point I do not believe the situation is recoverable.

According to the bacula database, the tape has 500GB of data written on it. I'm trying to check out on the tape itself, but knowledge of the mtx script is limited. However, the difference of nst0 and st0 is, the first one does not autorewind. and as stated by kern, bacula avoids rewinding the tape. so. also, this is tape which I have problems with, is the last one in a pool of 4 for that month specific. during the restore, it selects the 3 other tapes correctly, but it does not complete the restore, because of the 4th tape. +-- |This was sent by c...@belnet.be via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to ab...@backupcentral.com. +-- -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
Re: [Bacula-users] is not a Bacula labeled Volume, because: ERR=block.c:1023 Re
From the little I have seen, it looks like your tape was never written (the data may be on another tape -- please check) or the tape was overwritten. Using /dev/st0 could *possibly* cause the tape to be overwritten, but Bacula attempts to avoid that.

The tape may be corrupt or the wrong / blank tape may be in the drive verify that first. Also you should use /dev/nst0 instead of /dev/st0. Google the list archives for discussions on this.
