Kern, Thanks for you reply. You're right, I didnt. The thing is, i dont know how to do it. Remember the thread "[Bacula-users] Cant mount a tape after server reboot."? Back then, When I typed the mount command, it did nothing.
I wrote «I think its logical why bacula doesnt load the tape: its because mount command is not associated to a pool(a job is!), so bacula doesnt know what tape to load.» I didnt typed the mount command because i thought i would get the same behavior from bacula. Would it be diferent since bacula was waiting for the tape?
