It's hardly an error.

I think your TL may be looking for a tape in an erratic way. Maybe your Bacula drives configuration order does not match the physical drives order. Maybe your TL is just crazy and need a power cycle. Verify the TL webconsole for error messages and also why can't it feed the tape Bacula expects for backup. > Bacula 7.2.0 compiled from Source on CentOS 6.x, LTO-library connected > to the director machine, MariaDB backend. > All the best & TIA, > > Uwe Regards, =========================================================================== Heitor Medrado de Faria - LPIC-III | ITIL-F | Bacula Systems Certified Administrator II Do you need Bacula training? http://bacula.us/video-classes/ +55 61 8268-4220 Site: http://bacula.us FB: heitor.faria =========================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
