Dear Julian, This is good, but we were both referring to in between jobs (after daemon has started). The original commands I gave: mt -f /dev/nst0 setstoptions 0 grep st0 /var/log/messages
Will show you if these settings are being changed indvertedly by either (a) bacula or (b) the kernel driver prior to the restore command (e.g. by the mount command which 'opens' the tape drive).
