A client is running Bacula 1.36.1 (yes, very old) under Debian. On Friday we attempted to do a restore and I requested that they write protect the tape before putting it back into the drive, but Bacula refused to mount it until we took the write protection off again.
Is this something I need to configure or a bug/feature? I will encourage them to upgrade to something newer so if it is resolved in a newer version then the problem should go away, and I can use it as another reason why an upgrade is a good idea. I'd also be interested in other people's policy on write protecting tapes before doing a restore. In this case we only had the one tape with the data we wanted on it, so I thought that write protecting it was the smart thing to do to prevent an accidental overwrite.
