Hello, Thanks for the feedback. Very good idea to run the memory tests. I should have thought of that myself. It is nice to know that you have resolved the problem. Fortunately Bacula checksums the blocks :-) Best regards, Kern On 07/04/2014 05:03 PM, advan...@posteo.de wrote: > On Sat, 28 J

I have seen this before with both disk and tape media, where a backup job with no errors cannot later be restored due to i/o errors. The simple answer is that media can fail, even when offline, which is one of the reasons we make more than one backup. It is possible, if cumbersome and expensive

It is unlikely that this is a Bacula problem, especially considering your remark that you have used it for years and never had any problems. My best guess is that you have bad media or a bad medium or a bad connector. When writing, unless the OS reports an error, Bacula assumes the write is good.
