Hi,

Can someone tell me how Bacula decides to archive a tape? Recently we seem to have tapes being archived with less and less data on them and its wasting a lot of space and therefore tapes.

In the output below Bacula is archiving tapes that don't even have a GB written. I'm guessing it has something to do with archiving a tape after a run of incremental backups that may not have much data to backup, but any insight would be helpful.
