Most everything that you'd want to know about LTO tape for each version can be found here on Wikipedia. It has a section that talks about longevity and number of passes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open I have 6 year old LTO-5 media that has been used by my Bacula backups with a

Thanks Patti! I guess my info was stale. What about age and write cycles? I believe those still apply to LTO. -- George ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

This looks like a problem reported by the drive or the tape. I suggest setting the "Alert Command" option in bacula-sd.conf to run something like /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/nst0 -T verypermissive (or use the tapeinfo program) to check for TapeAlert messages after every backup. __Martin >

It seems unlikely to me, except maybe if it affects system performance and hides other problems. What is the final "" in your error message (it should be an error number)? Is this a backup or a restore? __Martin > On Thu, 20 Sep 2018 11:31:37 -0300 (BRT), Heitor Faria said: > > Dear u
