As far as I am aware, Bacula will resume writing from the current end of
data on the tape.  This will normally be the end of the last job,
whether it completed or not.  Granted it would be nice if it overwrote
canceled jobs, but that's not always easy, because jobs may be
interleaved on the tape, so it doesn't try.
