The errors are likely to be a simple "Number of files on tape don't match
the number the database thinks it should have" - that's a result of
aborted jobs.


As John said, if you don't need the data, purge the tapes, otherwise just
set them to used and they'll be purged/recycled sometime after the
retention period expires.

If they error again, then it's time to look closer, but the tapeinfo and
smartctl commands give much better tape-level error parameters than
Bacula's error counter.
