The situation was so hard, if the bacula-sd would be restarted the process is left as a zombie process (State Z) so only a full reboot of the system helps to fix the issue. I migrated all other jobs from this tape to another one (via a disk migration step) so only the problem job is still active on this tape. I hope I won't need this weekly backup job so in one year I will put the tape in the trash bin. So the reason is found and I don't want to find the exact reason why the bacula-sd process never comes back. But it is reproducible so I can make investigations more in detail if it is needed. PS: Normally I mean a problem should never bring the system in such a state. The process should die by itself in such a situation e.b. by a timeout or something else and leave the system intact.
