Hello,

thanks for your answers.

3) the backup was done to tapes. Is it possible to reclaim the space used by the now aborted job, without loosing data on the tape from previous jobs?

In theory this is possible in one certain case. Bacula itself doesn't support this, though.

The one case is hat you only have one job writing to a tape simultaneously, and no other jobs running afterwards. Then, you could set the file number in the catalog to the value before the job started, wind the tape to that place, and write an EOF/EOD marker.

I wouldn't try that.

Yes, sounds somewhat dangerous thing to do for a newbie.

If the job already used up more than one tape, you can simply delete the job from the catalog and prune the volumes - the used volume should be purged afterwards.

Okay, that worked, thank you.

Timm
