Yes thanks I didn't word the question properly. I know what the issue is and how to solve it, but I would like to know in the morning, by email, when something like this (or similar) has happened, without trawling through the logs or through the job emails. If it isn't something that can be separated out, then I will write a script to pull the information I want out of the logs.

What this says is that there are 84 files on the tape but bacula only recorded that there were 83. I have seen this happen when a client crashes during a backup. The tape was ok but bacula thought it was bad. There are ways to update the catalog to regain use of the tape. Search the archives for this.
