Hi.

I work with Bacula (11 and 13)  with lto8,  all fine.

with bacula 13 or 15   work  LTO9 ?

Yes.  ;)

You may want to run some tests using btape to find the right `MaximumFileSize` and `MaximumBlockSize` for your tape drive(s), but I can assure you (personally working in Quantum's lab testing Bacula with their latest Scalar i6000 library and LTO9 drives), Bacula absolutely works fine with them.

The settings I found that work quite well with LTO9 drives (with 10+ concurrent 
backup streams) are:
----8<----
MaximumFileSize = 32GB
MaximumBlockSize = 2097152
----8<----

I have also attached a script I wrote to automate the testing of several file 
and block size combinations using btape.

Please have a look and be sure to read the btape documentation to understand what is going on before running the script - also there are variable settings at the top you will need to edit to fit your environment.


Hope this helps,
Bill
