Thanks for the info. Another question: the text on wikipedia states "LTO-3 and LTO-4 use a similar format with 1,616,940-byte blocks" - is this something I would need to add as a directive (in trying to resolve my current issue), or would Bacula set this appropriately when I set media type to LTO-3 in the SD configuration? I appreciate the assistance so far. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
