Ha!
Another set of eyes is always useful.
Thanks for correcting my (false, this time) assumptions!

Bareos has parameter to most (if not all) possible case

Alexander, if a tape is in error, the volume will be place in state
error. if the tape simply can't write more data, this is similar to
end of tape, so bareos will just switch to another tape.
If you fear that maybe the job will not finish, but take long time,
you may be interested in the checkpoint feature, which will allow you
to use a job in error for restores.

If the writing fails the backup job will end with either failed
status or "with errors". I'm not sure but I'd expect the former.
You can of course always re-run any job manually but I don't
recall any mechanics like "if the job failed, re-try it
immediately with another volume". You could try to script it
though using your favourite scripting language.

Hi there, thanks for the response,
In the case that a volume fails whilst adding it, is it
possible to retry a backup with a new volume?

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
