That's the way Bacula works... it will only start a job when media for it is available. > I suppose with my setup I will never (hopefully) really exceed the 400G > on one backup, That's just a matter of time, it will happen to you too :-) > but it seems arbitrary to put that constraint on the > spooling process, although I guess whoever made that decision probably > thought about it more than I have...
