I am on bacula 5.2.12 and I backup to LTO5 tapes.  I started running a big FULL backup job. The job failed with the following error after backing up 2.2TB of data. I had the same problem with a full backup of another client.

Here is a portion of the email report I got from bacula:

Could someone please guide me on this? I would really appreciate it.

Thank you
