Howdy,

If I have a multi LTO4 tape backup running that will require swapping tapes 
(i.e. it will use all of the tapes in the autochanger and require a few more), 
is there any way during the job for the operator to tell Bacula to pause once 
it finishes filling the current tape?

The idea, I know I'm going to need to swap out / in two more tapes AND I know 
that the existing tapes won't fill up until 3 AM, why not let it finish writing 
the first 2 tapes, pause it, swap the first 2 tapes with new tapes, label them, 
mount the 3rd tape and let the job resume. The alternative, the backup will be 
idle from 3 AM until the next work day waiting for the operator to perform the 
swap.

Perhaps I'm thinking about this all wrong.

Thanks for any insight / tips.

Mike
