Not really.

Change maximum file size to 10Gb and maximum block size to 2M

You _must_ set all open tapes to used and restart the storage daemon 
when changing the block size. Bacula can't cope with varying maximum 
sizes on a tape

Even with those changes, if you have a lot of small, incompressible 
files you'll see high tape overheads.
