Hi all,
I am a new bacula user running 3.02 on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS. I am backing up about 7
clients(mix of windows and linux) to a DDS3 tape autochanger. After testing and
configuring for a few days I went live with this on Sunday with a full backup
of all clients and doing incrementals Mon-Fri.
So the problem... Yesterday I had a power outage. Bacula was idle, but there
was a volume mounted in the drive. Today when the incrementals fired, I got an
error:
05-Aug 10:25 pendual-dir JobId 39: Start Backup JobId 39,

05-Aug 10:26 pendual-sd JobId 39: Error: Bacula cannot write on tape Volume

The number of files mismatch! Volume=1 Catalog=14
05-Aug 10:26 pendual-sd JobId 39: Marking Volume "90m_1_1" in Error in Catalog.
It correctly loaded the next volume in the autochanger and did the backups but
I'm not sure why I am getting this error? A bls on the volume shows 14 files,
but does have an interesting entry at the end.

I did clean the drive and try this again, but I think that is a bogus alert
based purely on the read error and is more a symptom than a cause.
I think I could pretty easily fix this by simply purging the jobs and setting
the volume status to recycle, but I am trying to understand why this is
happening, since everything was idle when the powerfail happened. I'm assuming
maybe it has something to do with EOF handling, but nothing was writing so I am
a bit confused?
This is a great backup utility so far, I am enjoying working with it. Thanks
for any ideas/opinions.
Mike
