Bacula does not have that feature.

You can however use the volume utility tools to try to recover
whatever is on the last few tapes. This will be a bit of manual work.
Even with that I am not sure how well you can recover the bad tape.
You may have to skip past the bad part and pick up on the next volume
file (if possible).
