Hello bacula-users :-) Are any tools available to mend Bacula after almost certainly spurious errors reported by a tape autoloader? Within a few minutes of Bacula starting to use an autoloader which had been subject to an abrupt power outage, the autoloader reported a critical tape alert. Bacula shows the tape wth status Error (simply reflecting what the autoloader has told it?). We believe the condition is spurious but we do not know how to recover from it apart from re-initialising the tape which holds 97% of our backup volume.
