Hi! I usually administer our backups remotely, and someone else does change tapes. Now that I've found out how "always open", "close on poll" and "offline on unmount" work, I'm quite happy with the normal workflow.
The only problem is that I can't do remote testing if it involves restarting the storage daemon - like changing command line options. And once a tape was marked as erroneous (file count mismatch due to a crash), so that it got ejected at once, because bacula requested the next tape in the pool. What I wanted was to "purge" that tape and then use it, so I had to go and insert it again. Would it be possible to suppress the "offline on unmount" when the daemon is shutting down, or if the loaded tape has an error? In that case, I'll probably want to deal with the error and then use that tape anyway.
