Sometimes the tape get locked in the device.
Why? Is something holding it active?
And we need to reboot the backup server to eject the tape.
Why? Almost every tape drive has some magic code to force an eject.
(Try pressing the eject button 8 times or for 8 seconds)
And we also have power fails in our office sometimes.
If the power is unreliable, UPSes are cheap insurance.
We are not using bacula in fact, just testing, so we didn't know how

The answer to that is always "at the most inconvenient possible moment"
Power in the UK countryside is quite unreliable and we would never
complete backups without use of large UPS units keeping all the servers
running.
