That might depend on the actual error, which you didn't mention.

That's what I would do - delete the failed job, and make all the 
volumes it used usable again (which won't work if other jobs used the 
same volumes).

Theoretically, yes, though it will lock up your tape drive for a 
while, and might leave you with an incomplete backup. If the job was 
actually finished writing to tape, and you're absolutely sure 
everything you need ended up on tape, you could do that.

If the bscan works correctly, just make sure the job is marked as 
terminated Ok in the catalog, and with the correct times.

Perhaps better to add more disk space first :-)
