Are you able to bconsole unmount
the device after the backup is finished? What is the output of tapeinfo -f /dev/sg0 ? What is your OS? What version of Bacula are you running? Have you tried to # Rewind tape mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind # Eject tape mt -f /dev/nst0 eject yet (pay attention that these commands are for a single drive, YMMV)? Do you have any SCSI or tape drive error reported when you tail -50 /var/log/messages ?
