If you have enough disk space you could try rescuing the data using dd or cat and creating a replacement volume like this (tape in /dev/st0): <stop bacula processes> cat /dev/st0 > /big_file_system/tapedata.dat mtx unload <remove old tape> <insert new tape> mtx load <slot number> mt -f /dev/st0 rewind mt -f /dev/st0 weof # probably unnecessary for a new tape cat /big_file_system/tapedata.dat >/dev/st0 I have no idea if this would work, but a verbatim copy of the data on a new tape should be accepted by bacula just fine.
