Hi,

Thanks for your answer,
I am pretty new with bacula,

I have to backup weekly over 10 Tb, can you please explain the approach to have one job per tape?

All of my projects are bigger than 1 Tb

Thanks

No. I suggest splitting the job into smaller Jobs if possible.

Bacula does not have this feature. The first error of any kind it sees
cancels the job.
