[Bacula-users] bscan job spanning multiple tapes

Using Bacula 2.2.6 on Debian 4 with an Overland 2 drive, 24 tape library

We have some archive tapes that we hold beyond the normal pruning cycle. Unfortunately we need to recover some data off these tapes. I have used blist to find the tapes that the data we want is on and have used bscan to recover most of the needed data. At this point there is a job that spanned 2 tapes. When we bscan the first tape it runs for about 4 hours then requests the second tape. This request times out after 3 minutes. Since it can take up to a minute to unload the first then another minute to load the second tape this leaves a 1 minute window to catch the end of the first tape and enter commands to unload and load the correct tapes. I have looked at the docs for bscan but can not see a way to either automate the loading of the second tape (can't use ; to run consecutive commands because the first bscan has not finished) or to extend the timeout to a more reasonable time?

Thanks,
John
