Thanks for the suggestions Kern, tried and failed ;( Here is what I think has happened, I have been experiancing nasty hard hangs for unrelated reasons on my tape library (it hard hangs on the mis-read of a barcode!). 1) Tape Library hard hangs 2) I restart the library 3) Bacula starts writing to the tape from where it thinks it is, un-known to bacula the library re-winds tapes when it restarts 4) bacula over writes from file:block 0:0 Is that possible do you think Kern? -- James Ray. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Computing Services Queen Mary, University of London ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
