I've looked through the documentation of Bacula, and perhaps it is called 
something else and I just didn't recognize it.

Does Bacula support tape reclamation?  By this, I mean, as the retention period 
on particular pieces of data expire, can Bacula automatically begin condensing 
what could become only "half-full" tapes onto new tapes and return now emptied 
tapes back into the pool?  I realize this would require multiple tape drives.  
While it might cause the drives to run more often, but it would make tape usage 
more efficient than having many tapes with a few "empty spots" set now as 
"appendable."

As I said, it may be already in there and I didn't recognize the description of 
the functionality.

Thanks!

Chris
