Yes, I md5'ed the files before the backup and after the restore and diffed the checksums. The checksums were identical. I am quite convinced that that configuration I have is fine and that this is a btape problem. The drive is now in productive operation (remote!) and I don't want to mess with the config. I might do some tests once I am on location again. To my understanding, it would make sense to look into how btape differs from bacula-sd in handling the drive. As said before, this configuration has worked just fine for LTO1 drives on FreeBSD with and without an autoloader. I am guessing that the SCSI/IOCTL interface hasn't changed between the LTO generations. Thank you for your input, Dan!
