Hello,
If you are running Bacula 9.0.0 or later, please be sure that you have
implemented the new tape alert code. It is documented in the New
Features chapter of the manual and is in the bacula-sd.conf file that is
distributed with the source code. This new code automatically checks
for ta
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.

found the following around the same time:

Error [curren
The "ERR=Input/output error" can be caused by hardware problems, but I would
not expect it from a network problem. If you have the syslog
(e.g. /var/log/messages) from that time, I would check for errors there too.

I suggest looking in the system logs / console for messages around that time
as well.
