[Bacula-users] Copy Job to Tape problem

Hello!

Currently, in the evenings my backup system backups first to disk and
then in the mornings I scheduled a copy job to copy the jobs to tape (LTO2).
It worked fine so far, but now I have a new machine and have to do a
full backup with the size of ~330GB. (The other machines are <200GB)

Bacula can copy the files of the big full backup over multiple tapes
successfully but afterwards, it tries again to copy the same job to the
tapedrive again (and again...)
Could this be because the maximum tape space is (uncompressed) 200GB
(and in reality with compression just about 250GB) and the Copy-Job
needs to backup >300GB?



On the list jobs list it looks like:

And now it seems to be still running (it wants another tape..., so I
cancelled it):

I am using Bacula 3.0.3 on NetBSD 5 and a single LTO2 drive.

I like very much the copy feature because that way I have real fast
access to the current backups as they are on the disks, and I have the
security to be able to take them home on the tapes. Thus, I'd love to
continue using it ;-)

Can somebody check please if this is a bug in Bacula?

If you need further information, don't hesitate to ask. :-)

Best regards,
Damian
