hi i've found out, that the error on tape is between file 4 and 20. i can successfull forward space to file 20 ("mt -f /dev/nst0 20").
reading from file 0 with "dd if=/dev/nst0 of=/dev/null bs=64512" works until file 4 and 235MB. Is there a way to "reassemble" the two parts of the file and reread them with bacula? i've not found any option like "skip file 4 to 20" with the bextract,bscan,bls tools i've allready read the first part of the tape to a file and tried to read it from there. No luck so far: bls: match.c:249-0 add_fname_to_include prefix=0 gzip=0 fname=/ bls: butil.c:282 Using device: "/srv/backup/vtl" for reading. 04-Mar 16:50 bls JobId 0: Ready to read from volume "ARCHIVE-0000" on device "FileStorage" (/srv/backup/vtl). 04-Mar 16:50 bls JobId 0: Error: block.c:275 Volume data error at 0:64511!
