Feature Request/Fix

[yowmemperor]

We had a tape go bad, I noticed this stops the entire job rather than try the next tape. I didn't see a re-try option on the tape job. Can a feature be added to skip a tape or two when they cross write errors? Our tape writes take close to a week.

Could you elaborate on "go bad"? What does that mean exactly? And what exact error did you get; should help us to understand the issue better? Thanks.

Here is the error. It was a new tape, so I tried a few times after adjusting the job, but same results. As soon as I replaced the tape it went off just fine.
