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:

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!
The tape library is HP Ultrium-3 400/800Gb

I've really no idea about I got this.... 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.

Marco
