Hi Bruno,
thanks a lot for your answer. the script was up-to-date but digging a little bit into it made me to set debugging on. then I could see in the log: 20250320-11:53:05 Doing mt -f /dev/tape/by-id/sch0-nst status ... 20250320-11:53:05 /dev/tape/by-id/sch0-nst: No such file or directory so i looked around a little bit and set the right device, now everything working again, THANKS! what is a little bit confusing (for me) is that the script did not throw an error or something. I think this would be helpful as one could immediately find out that the device path is not correct. Best regards and thanks again, Otto Bruno Friedmann (bruno-at-bareos) schrieb am Donnerstag, 20.
