You would probably be ok. > Will an unmount/mount before > running any jobs make bacula accept the tape? Probably. The safest action is to NEVER insert a new tape before doing an unmount/mount operation. Kern, is it possible to insert some sanity checks when starting jobs to ensure the tape is positioned where bacula thinks it should be? If not, I'd suggest rereading the label. I have to say I am surprised that a tape drive which was held open by any software wasn't locked. I've never been able to remove a DAT or other individual tape from a drive without using emergency eject procedures.
