CRITICAL:root:Backup failed.
CRITICAL:root:Command '['/bin/tar', '--acls', '--selinux', '-czf', '/dev/nst0', '.', '--exclude', '"lost+found"']' returned non-zero exit status 2

Solution:

This error is a common issue which occurs due to problem with tape drive.

It is recommended to involve your hardware team and process a cleanup of tape drive with cleanup media.

It is also recommended to clean the tape drive with cleanup media on weekly basis.

After cleaning the tape drive, tape backup will be successful.
