Dear all,
from time to time I get an error after I restart the server running my
bacula director and also a storage daemon with an Tandberg LTO-5 HH.
The current bacula version is 9.6.3 (9th March 2020) on a Debian machine.
The situation is:
Bacula has made some backups to a tape in the drive, but the tape isn't
full yet.
Than a restart of the machine is happing (for example due to a Kernel
update). So bacula is shutting down and the tape is rewinded.
After restart, as soon as I initiate a backup job, bacula tries the
positioning to the end of the tape to write the data (in this case I just
run a small backup job of my bacula database).
However, he fails to do so, with the error "ERFOLG" (which is German and
means SUCCESS). So I do not understand what is happening there. Has someone
come accross such a behaviour?

18-Mär 13:20 fritzie15-sd JobId 12352: Marking Volume "LTO-5-Tape0027" in

Now, I am a bit afraid, because I do not know, if a restore of the backuped
data would work.
Thank you all in advance!
Best,
Christian
