Hi,

I did read that and yes I understand it says don't use 512 byte
blocks, but that is the only way that I've managed to get it to work.

Variable blocks didn't work (as I said). It says that Travan must run
in fixed block mode.

The issue is that the Travan tape is very slow. Now maybe one of my
settings is wrong, but I don't know what and was looking for some help
as I'd like to get it working.

Alternatively, maybe someone who has this going well can help me.

[I looked at using Amanda. I got it going but it requires a new tape
for every backup. Bacula overcomes that limitation but at a price of
very slow tape writing at the moment for me.]]
