Do you have room on disk for a full backup?

I ask because i backup to disk, then copy to tape.  I retain the copy on disk 
for some time.

You could do the same.  Backup to disk, then copy to tape, twice, from disk.

The disk pools are distinct from the tape pools.  I use SQL to select jobs for 
copying: http://www.freebsddiary.org/bacula-disk-to-tape-via-sql.php
