Package: bacula
Version: 2.4.1-0.1
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream
Justification: causes serious data loss


Hi,

In some cases version 2.4.0 will re-use the tape that's just filled up
to continue a backup, which means the current backup as well as any
previous backups stored on the tape are lost.

See http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1103 for the upstream bug entry,
and recent discussion on the bacula-users mailing list.

I had a reproducible error case for this which is not reproducible with
version 2.4.1.

Regards,

Stephen
