Answering my own question. I found there is an option to disable the "auto-clean" on the tape library. I believe the "event notification " alerts will notify me when the next clean up is required. If not, I reckon stick to a periodical manual clean up.

Cheers

  Yes, I have the same problem with my Storage Tek L700e.      I just got burned last night during a full of 300GB with the library automatically cleaning a drive.

  Only way I have been able to deal with this is to restart the job after it fails.

  I would like to know the same information.  Has any one come up with a work around for this problem.

Hi folks,

While Bacula backups are running, the library system (IBM TS3200) figures one of the tape drives requires head cleaning and tries to load the cleaning tape.

Following is the first email message generated from the tape-library:
-------------------------- start ----------------------------
Device      : <FLX10D488 AT xxx DOT com>
Attention : Drive Cleaning request
            Drive number:   0x01, 1
This message was generated automatically from
IBM      3573-TL 
---------------------------- end -----------------------------


The next email alert generated immediately after the first one:
--------------------------- start --------------------------------
Device      : <FLX10D488 AT xxx DOT com>
Attention : Crit or Warn Drive Tape Alert flag
            Number:   0x20, 32

            Tape Alert Flag:   0x15, 21
This message was generated automatically from

---------------------------- end -------------------------------------


After a few minutes, Bacula sends a "Backup Fatal Error" message:
-------------------------- start ----------------------------------------

, got 3903 Error append data
-------------------------------- end --------------------------------------


Anyone has had the same experience? Anyway to prevent this "tape library and Bacula tripping over each other" in the future?
TIA.
