I am testing bacula at the moment, so it is not any serious production
problem.

After having finished a back-up correctly without any reported errors,
the tape is still busy. I thought it might be doing a verify so I let it
stay busy all day until I realised it could not have been a verify
operation. But then is it normal that the tape remains busy and what
should I do to unmount it?

Er... what do you mean by "busy"? Is the "busy" light on, or can't you acces the drive using a command like mt?

In the first case, you should find out what programs are running. In the latter case, use the console command 'umount' - that should help.

Usually, but that depends on your SD configuration, a tape drive is always open when the SD works with it. In that case, the driver of your OS should lock the device against use by other programs, which then report the drive as busy.
