John,

It looks like I have to stop bacula-sd to use btape. Unfortunately, that kills 
the backup job in the drive that is currently in process. Anyway to avoid kill 
this and still using the bscan command?

JJ


[root@monk bacula]# ./bin/bscan -V 000087 -v -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst1
[root@monk bacula]# mt -f /dev/nst1 rewind
/dev/nst1: Device or resource busy
[root@monk bacula]# /etc/init.d/bacula-sd status
bacula-sd (pid 20756) is running...
[root@monk bacula]# /etc/init.d/bacula-sd stop
Stopping Bacula Storage services:                          [  OK  ]

That worked. I just need to remember this trick for when it happens next time. 
Thanks John!

No but you can get the media record for any volume into the database using

bscan

see the manual for operation.

The following link will pull the volume into the catalog:

http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/utility/utility/Volume_Utility_Tools.html#SECTION00272000000000000000

If you did not write any jobs to the volume an alternate method is to
erase the volume (assuming its in /dev/nst0 already):

mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind
mt -f /dev/nst0 weof

Then relabel with label barcodes.

John
