What gives you the idea that you need to do more than that? If an
acceptable tape is placed in the drive, the software should attempt to
mount it by itself.
I suspect you are running with AlwaysOpen = yes? This is not desirable
in this situation. While AlwaysOpen = no is harder on the tape drive by
design, if you are replacing the tape every day and only using it once,
there is no specific harm in closing the tape (you'd need to reopen it
on the next one anyway). AlwaysOpen an some of the polling options I
suspect make this come together.

When a tape is missed for one of our weekday sets the next evening
the previous days, missed, tape is still requested even though the

A cancellation cleared the job queue, It looks as some intervention is
unavoidable when a
tape is missed as I have been working through this problem for a while
now. However some
interventions is required, the tape needs to be changed! so to cancel a
job is not a huge amount
of extra work. It would be nice if entering the next tape was all an
untrained user needed to do.

Keep replies on the list -- you'll get more assistance that way.
That is possible. Seems to me what's actually goofing you up here is
that the backup is hung waiting for a tape, since it wasn't there when
the backup started. The next backup will then wait for that one. A
cancellation should allow the next backup to start anew. It
theoretically want the wrong tape, but as long as your tape is ABLE to
be written, AFAIK, it will be written to when it is presented with that
tape.

I do not know of any other way but I will forward this to the list
because some one else may have an idea.

Cancel the previous day job if it is running. You may have to insert the
blocked tape to continue.
Then insert the next tape and issue the mount command to mount it.
If the previous day job was not running you should be able to mount the next
days tape even though it asks for the previous.

[Bacula-users] Missed tape previous day requested
Hi List
When a tape is missed for one of our weekday sets the next evening the
