No, I think this is OK. The SD has failed to *read* from the tape. If this is a new tape, you can get an I/O error when you label it for the first time. Bacula tries to read the tape to see if a label already exists on it (this is a safety check to guard against accidentally overwriting a tape). If the tape is blank, you get an error from some devices when you try to read it. > 3000 OK label. VolBytes=64512 DVD=0 Volume="WednesdayPool-0001" > Device="LTO-2" (/dev/nst0) The label appears to have been written OK. If you are in any doubt, delete the tape and test it with tar or cpio. Then you can label it again (as long as you have overwritten the Bacula label on the tape).
