Now, how to recover?

There is a chapter in the manual how to handle this situation with bconsole.

Oh, fine... I already forgot that...

Why? Because I have jobs that end in error on a regular basis - I back up one WLAN-connected notebook, and once in a while, that connection is dropped. The result is that the SD times out the job because it can't connect to the FD any more. BUT, and that is probably one big difference, I use spooling, so that the SD only starts writing to tape when all the data is available. And I use 1.38.4.

I had another bug with this situation. Bacula was doing a backup from a workstation with spooling. After 8GB it began to despool the data to tape and while this was done the user switched off the workstation. So the second part could not be stored and bacula canceled the job. Now the canceled job stuck in the queue and thus prevented the next scheduled jobs from running.

Yes. It can take up to two hours before the SD "accepts" the timeout. Knowing myself, I guess you weren't patient enough :-)

Once you got the job email that states that the job failed other jobs should run normally. (By the way, the best way to avoid that your backup time window is used with waiting, not with working, is to enable multiple concurrent jobs. That's probably what you'd want in production mode.)

After stopping bacula and starting again the running queue was empty and all the schedule for today was lost.
I'm using 1.38.4 with a Ultrium-2 drive. Any ideas?

The schedule is only held in memory and doesn't survive a restart of the DIR.
