Ah! Now, due to the Pool Name this tape is on, it can explains that
(Diff Pool or Inc-Pool) as al others (Full-Pool) have a label of type of
Vol_Label, and can be scanned.
Thank you very much for the tip. I won't try to scan the PRE_LABEL
volumes, then.
Thank you again.

Objet : Re: [Bacula-users] Reload Tapes using bscan
Hello Christian,
If btape is saying that the volume is prelabeled, it means that it has
a Bacula label that is written *before* any data is put on the tape.
This means that either the tape was never written, or someone (not
Bacula) wrote an end of file mark at the beginning of the tape, then
the next time it was mounted by Bacula (or some sys admin) Bacula
recognized it as a "blank" tape and wrote a prelabel.
It is very difficult to recover from a tape being overwritten, but it
is possible and rather complicated. It involves first scanning the
tape to see if there is any real data past the prelabel records, and if
so, copying the good data to another tape.
Best regards,
Kern

Maybe something from my bacula-sd.conf ?

Hello Christian,
Have you tried the recovery from tapes without using the bootstrap
file? It can be done this way:
./bscan -V TestVolume1 -v -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
And if have your backup in more than one volume, you can try this
way:
./bscan -V TestVolume1/|TestVolume2/|TestVolume3 -v -s -m -c
bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
Maybe the bootstrap file that you have created is missing something.
I have been using bscan without mentioning bootstrap files and It
works fine for me.
Best regards,
Ana

Hi,
I had a major crash that destroyed my bacula database, and my
bootstrap file. The only thing I have to start recovering from are
my bacula tapes.
I tried to scan them all with a bscan.bsr file which looks like:
Volume="KF3969L3"
MediaType="LTO-3"
Slot=1
Volume="ATT477L3"
MediaType="LTO-3"
Slot=2
....
all the way down to Slot=16
My base bacula installation has been done, database set, and tested
my library.
Now, I'm trying to scan by using this command:
bscan -b bscan.bsr -v -P [my_database_password] -s -m -c
bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
which ends up with Volume is prelabeled. This tape cannot be
scanned.
WHAT ???? I hope that the volume is already labeled... These tapes
are my last hope. I probably don't understand what bscan is telling
me exactly. What do I need to do to have bscan fread the tapes and
recreate the catalog ?
Thanks,
Christian...
