Bacula aborted writing to the tape as the error occured and asked for a new volume. So maybe the last record that has been written to the tape before the error occured had been written correctly but the backup isn't complete as it needed another tape and it looks like it did not write the EOF successfully to the bad tape. So I doubt if the job could be used for a restore. (Unfortunately I cannot verify it because the tape has been wiped now.)
