[Bacula-users] Bacula fails to backup jobs to Tape

Hello,

We are using Bacula for several months now as our primary backup solution,

yet we are still struggling to get the automatic backup to tape working.

I temporarily disabled them and ran the backup jobs manually. I inserted an empty

tape and labelled it 'Maandag'. The jobs started and were doing the backup when I left the office,

but the next day I got this error:

07-Jun 18:15 backup01-dir JobId 267: Start Backup JobId 267, Job=tsi-vms01.2010-06-07_18.15.49_04
07-Jun 18:15 backup01-dir JobId 267: Using Device "Tape^ADevice"
07-Jun 18:15 backup01-sd JobId 267: Wrote label to prelabeled Volume "Maandag" on device "Tape Device" (/dev/st0)
08-Jun 00:20 tsi-vms01-fd JobId 267: Fatal error: backup.c:892 Network send error to SD. ERR=Input/output error
08-Jun 00:16 backup01-sd JobId 267: Fatal error: append.c:242 Network error reading from FD. ERR=No data available
08-Jun 00:16 backup01-sd JobId 267: Job write elapsed time = 06:00:19, Transfer rate = 19.54 M Bytes/second

The job for backing up our fileserver has obviously failed, but I can't figure out why from this error

message I got in the logs. Even worse, other jobs after it also failed because of this message:

08-Jun 00:16 backup01-sd JobId 269: Volume "Maandag" previously written, moving to end of data.
08-Jun 00:16 backup01-sd JobId 269: Error: Bacula cannot write on tape Volume "Maandag" because:
The number of files mismatch! Volume=423 Catalog=422
08-Jun 00:16 backup01-sd JobId 269: Marking Volume "Maandag" in Error in Catalog.
08-Jun 00:16 backup01-sd JobId 269: Job tsi-mail01.2010-06-07_18.17.35_06 is waiting. Cannot find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
    Storage:      "Tape Device" (/dev/st0)
    Pool:         DayPool
    Media type:   IBM

What is going on exactly? I didn't find anything strange in the dmesg or syslog of the bacula machine (which

runs bacula-dir and bacula-sd) or the fileserver with bacula-fd.

I hope somebody can help us out. Thanks in advance,
