I've muddled through to a certain point in configurng the above

I've had a complete hardisk trashed in my win2k system and need to
restore it from the last full and differential backups.
Seems the console only works on defined filesets, so headscratch.
Basically, what is the easiest way to restore D: drive?

A volume listing says the tape is appendable.
The tape is mounted in the drive.
It acknowledges that the tape is mounted and correctly reports the

Sounds like it is a job for a RunBefore script based on df,
Since I upgraded my Debian etch to Lenny and a resultant bacula upgrade,
a problem has emerged with bacula. It is failing to associate a existing
tape with its pool.
Particularly applies to a tape sitting in the drive when DIR is
started/restarted. It reads the label correctly, but then has no

Due to hardware recognition problems in the latest version of

Have you tried it with different tapes?

Yes.
They seem to be talking, but it is looking like FD to SD trouble from
the message that lists briefly on "stat dir", then it errors out in ~5 secs.
This is the actual error message in the report;

And it is not entered in the honstname-fd.conf file.
I am having a brain fart atm and can not remember where I entered/how I
told the windows client FD what password it uses to talk to the

In all my working windows client hostname-fd.conf files the password

Yes, but you will have to change the name, say 007 becomes 007A
