I suggest looking in the syslog for errors around this time. The "ERR=Input/output error" means that the OS could not read the tape, which could be a problem with that particular tape, or possibly the tape drive or other related hardware. Does it happen repeatedly when restoring that job? __Martin _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
