I still can't get bacula to write to a DVD using the latest software on
Kubuntu. Every time I run it I get

Dear All
Is there a way to Cancel a job automatically (with a message) if it
exceeds a certian size as a RunBeforeJob.
The reason I ask this question is that I am trying to backup data from
laptops and there is only a limited number of hours in the day.
Thanks for the great software

You should

Actually, as a result of my testing last week with umount, my weekend
backups didn't run; umount only logically unmounted the tape, and then
Bacula sat there waiting for someone to manually (logically) remount the
tape. And the manual actually says:
