Hi all, I have to recover some files from a tape but, after loading the tape, bacula cannot mount it.
Opening the device with hexer I find in beginning of tape a session/jobs headers but no volume header.... this is the output of strings command with device in position 0: > BB02 > 4Bacula 1.0 immortal > w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data-pool > Backup > BACKUP w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data > w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-fd > BACKUP_w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data.2008-05-23_23.05.15 > w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data-fileset BTW, looking in logs backup w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data.2008-05-23_23.05.15 is not the 1st backup on the volume... It should be the 9th!

But it was my 1st backup with bacula on tape, so my-human errror is the really probable! I need to recover a file in Jobid 14 [It should be in this volume] but with bacula console, bls or bextract I can't get any good result, because they are looking for a valid volume header. Is there any utility to low-level recover file from a volume regardless volume or jobs? I want try to relabel the tape with w2k3-ap-nas1.porto.laspezia.it-data-0001? Do you think it could work? Remember that the important job is not the 1st on the tape (JobId: 9) but the Job Id: 14. Tnz 4 bacula.
