Your configuration is interesting. Is this a standalone tape drive?
Here is my SDLT tape drive, within a library. The items I think you might want
to investigate for yourself are:
TWO EOF = yes
BSF at EOM = yes
Fast Forward Space File = yes
For myself, I think I should look into:
AutomaticMount = yes;
AlwaysOpen = yes;
RemovableMedia = yes;
RandomAccess = no;
Device {
Name = "DTL03"
Description = "Compaq Storage Works MSL5026 - first drive"
Media Type = SDLT
Archive Device = /dev/nsa0
Autochanger = yes
Drive Index = 0
Offline On Unmount = no
Hardware End of Medium = no
BSF at EOM = yes
Backward Space Record = no
Fast Forward Space File = yes
TWO EOF = yes
Spool Directory = /usr/local/bacula/spooling
Maximum Spool Size = 11759496889
Maximum Job Spool Size = 11759496889 # 10GB
}

When you ran your successful backup and restore spanning two LTO3 tapes, did
you do a diff on the original version?
