Hi,

We have recently experienced a tape drive failure in one of our autochangers. 
Unfortunately, I noticed this after the malfunctioning drive had already 
trashed quite a few tapes. I would like to get rid of corrupted tapes as 
seamlessly as possible (the drive has been already replaced and new one tested 
successfully). Can I just delete corresponding tape volumes in the catalog and 
expect bacula to catch up automatically? We normally run full backups every 
2-3 months and incremental backups in between. If some of the incrementals 
were to be deleted, would bacula be able to roll back and find last available 
valid one to compare current file set against it? What I would like to avoid is 
starting from scratch, e.g., by running full backups for all our clients.

Thanks,
Ivan

P.S. My bacula version is 2.4.4
