Bacula writes EOF (end of file) markers onto tapes to make restoring
faster (it uses these markers to skip/fast forward over the files it
doesn't need when restoring). By default, one such marker is written:
- - at every 1GB of a job.
- - at every end of a job (ie if you run 10 jobs that are all smaller than
1GB, you will have 10 'files' on your tape).
