This also runs the tape, not only fail silently. So, user bacula can manually use mt and /dev/nst0, but the SD running as user bacula cannot?? After re-starting SD, backup fails again... [EMAIL PROTECTED] bacula]# ps -ef | grep bacula root 2110 1 0 Jan07 ? 00:23:27 /usr/sbin/bacula-fd -u root -g bacula -c /etc/bacula/bacula-fd.conf bacula 29753 1 0 12:07 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bacula-dir -u bacula -g bacula -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf bacula 31374 1 0 14:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/bacula-sd -u bacula -g bacula -c /etc/bacula/bacula-sd.conf I guess the mtx and mtx-changer aren't a matter here, since I don't have an autochanger but just a single manually loadable drive. And since /dev/sg* does not exist at all, it shouldn't be a problem either... or was this my big mistake?
