Re: [Bacula-users] Reading DLT tapes in SDLT drive

Never tried, but since the media type is only a label in the database, you did correctly and should be able to read them.... does it work?

I have an SDLT tape library and many old DLT tapes created on my previous library.

SDLT can read DLT. I wanted to test that today. The issue: Media Type

When attempting to restore, I get:

22-Aug 16:21 crey-sd JobId 183011: acquire.c:121 Changing read device. Want Media Type="DLT" have=“SDLT”

To avoid that, I did: update media set mediatype = 'SDLT' where volumename = 'ETU007’;

Anyone done similar?

I’m using Version: 5.2.12 on FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE
