Hi there,
a question how Bareos managed space on tape:
Hypothetc:

On a LTO tape are stored in this order 3 jobs:
1: 3 TB
2: 2 TB
3: 1 TB

Job 1 is deleted.
Now a new job is queued, the spooling file has a size of 2 TB.

Will now the SD despool it 
a) on position 4 of the tape (append) [this is what I think]
or
b) replace position1 because the is availabe space

So, thinking about fragmentation would be one part of a backup strategy 
when working with tapes.

Thanks and all the best, Frank
