Hello,
As far as I know, there was never any Bacula version 3.
Where did you get the binaries?
What is the exact version you are running?
Is your OS Window 2003 SBS? (if I am not wrong, this system is no
longer supported).
It sounds like your SD is running on a Windows machine and you are
probably running a *very* old or non-existent version of Bacula.
Although there were a few Windows versions that had a Director and a
Storage daemon, the Windows SD and Director have never been fully
supported, and especially writing to tape. In fact if you are using
Windows to write to tape, I would be interested to hear about it, and in
any case, if it is a Windows system, I am not surprised to hear that
there are problems because I have never had a Windows system with an
attached tape drive to test.
Best regards,
Kern
