Hi,

I have an LTO-3 drive on my server and currently my backups re only 
about 100GB, and I could (and currently am fitting multiple backups on 
one tape). I am obviously changing the tape each day etc (its not the 
same tape) I have a different tape for mon - thursday and friday1 
friday2 etc

But I am wondering if I should be using *Use Volume Once = Yes *which 
would then mark the tape FULL after it has used it once. If I don't do 
this I will eventually get to a day when only half a backup fits on the 
end?
*
*Or is it fine to leave more than one backup on a tape?

I am ejecting my tapes with "umount LTO-3" is this ok? or should I be 
using "release LTO-3" and then doing umount?

Does bacula rewind the tape if i use release?

Will it cause a problem if I use release and have multiple backups on a 
single tape?


Many Thanks
