Hi, Coming at this issue with fresh eyes I noticed you seem to have replaced the 'delete_catalog_backup' script call in your catalog backup job with 'end_of_backup.sh'
Unless I'm mistaken, I believe this script is run by the Director, not the storage daemon. By default IIRC, the director runs as user bacula group bacula and probably doesn't have permission to access your tape drive. On top of that, depending on your configuration, the SD probably has your tape drive locked/blocked so the script couldn't eject the tape anyways. One alternative that *should* work, is to replace your mt commands in the script with calls to bconsole instead. I think something like: /usr/sbin/bcnosole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf <<EOF1 umount <StorageName> EOF1 Should work. You might need to run the umount command under bconsole and take note of any extra prompts and place the appropriate answers before the EOF1 in the above example. I probably should also mention this is all from memory so is subject to silly mistakes :) Cheers, Troy.
