Yes, it does seem like things are working now. I'm trying my best to
sort out the organization by labeling all the tapes manually (using
the label command in bconsole). Now, it seems like whenever I label a
tape Bacula takes this tape and starts writing to it. Then I'm stuck
until the tape is full, and Bacula is looking for a new one. This is
fine, it's just going to take some time (I have 4 terrabytes in a full
backup) before I'm up to speed.

Now, I have a question about jobs. Bacula has been unable to run for
about a month because of the problem with the full autochanger. Does
jobs get filled up, so that it will now try to run all previous jobs?
I did a list jobs and it showed this:

*list jobs

Does this mean I have 25 jobs waiting to run? Can I safely delete
these jobs? Where is the one that is obviously running now (none have
the status R).
