Hi,
        It looks like I need to beef up "Maximum Block Size" to get good 
performance out of our LTO-4 tape drives.

Before I do, I'd like to know what effect this has on restoring from backups 
taken with the default block size.  Will I 
need to modify the Device configuration back to it's default setting to be able 
to restore from those tapes, or will 
Bacula figure out what it needs to do?

Thanks,

An ASCII character walks into a bar and orders a double.
"Having a bad day?" asks the barman.
"Yeah, I have a parity error," replies the ASCII chrctr.
The barman says, "Yeah, I thought you looked a bit off."
