Hi Erich, as I wrote in my last mail, I CAN run the tapeinfo.exe and get results when I stop the Bacula Storage Service.
The problem I still have is, that I get an error message in the job log. So my question is: do I have to stop the Bacula Storage Service in order to get the tapeinfo.exe working WHILE a backup is job is executed? I'm just concerned about the fact to stop a Bacula Service in order to run a backup job completely (with tape alert check)!
