Hi,
 
I had a major crash that destroyed my bacula database, and my bootstrap file. The only thing I have to start recovering from are my bacula tapes.
 
I tried to scan them all with a bscan.bsr file which looks like:
 
Volume="KF3969L3"
MediaType="LTO-3"
Slot=1
Volume="ATT477L3"
MediaType="LTO-3"
Slot=2
....
all the way down to Slot=16
 
My base bacula installation has been done, database set, and tested my library.
 
Now, I'm trying to scan by using this command:
 
bscan -b bscan.bsr -v -P [my_database_password] -s -m -c bacula-sd.conf /dev/nst0
 
which ends up with Volume is prelabeled. This tape cannot be scanned.
 
WHAT ????  I hope that the volume is already labeled...  These tapes are my last hope.  I probably don't understand what bscan is telling me exactly.  What do I need to do to have bscan fread the tapes and recreate the catalog ?
 
Thanks,
 
Christian...
