As far as I remember unless you explicitly specify volume size (which can be useful if you're using file-based volumes, bareos will write to the volume until it reaches the end. Then it will request another volume.

Unless you hit an error - then I think the volume status will be set to error.

Good evening,

I am looking at Bareos as it seems to be the only option that explicitly mentions the use of LTO for incremental backups, so I can keep appending to existing tapes with each backup. Is this indeed how Bareos will work?

I am using LTO-5 tapes which have some age and use to them, and will not necessarily reach the full 1.5TB raw capacity. Is Bareos capable of handling these tapes and filling them as much as possible before requesting an additional tape be added?

Thanks
