Hi Brian, Thanks for your quick response,
I have found another way to do it.. it really does concern me doing it manually, if bacula decides to change the tape in the auto changer before I issue the weof command I could potentially lose data :S Here is the method I am using: host:/#bacula *unmount *quit host:/#mtx -f /dev/sg0 load 5 0 host:/#mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind host:/#mt -f /dev/nst0 weof Does anyone see a problem with this method?
