I doubt very much that Bacula can destroy a tape. It uses only normal system
calls.
However, from the ouput listing you included, it *appears* that you are using
"Offline on Unmount = yes". This directive is most likely causing your tape
drive to "lock up" after the tape is ejected. It requres either a power off
or a "load" to get it going again. The exact behavior depends a lot on the
drive. If you remove this directive from your Device resource, you will
probably have more luck.
