Hi all,
        For some reason that I haven't figured out, Bacula ran a backup job 
twice---resulting in a duplicate backup of files onto a single tape Volume. Is 
it possible to physically erase the last job's files from tape and reset the 
tape position to where it was before the last job? 

One way I can think that this might be possible... Would it be advisable to use 
the bsf ("backspace file") command in btape and then write end-of-file (with 
weof)? (I would only have to backspace about a dozen files, so this option 
would be practical. Also, maybe the command bsr is better, but I'm not sure 
what a "record" is in Bacula.)

Following tape erasure of the duplicate job's files, I assume that the catalog 
entry for the job can be removed with the 'purge' command.

                                                                                
                                                        Thank you,
                                                                                
                                                        Christian
