The bconsole `release` command is for this. :)

It tells the SD to put the tape back into the slot, but it does not hinder the use of the drive for future jobs. It will ask 
for the slot, but you can just hit enter and it will be returned to the slot it came from.

For those "ghost Jobs", if this ever happens again, you can use the bconsole `cancel inactive jobid=xxxx storage=yyyy` command.

You will need to upgrade your Bacula version. 9.4.2 is quite old, and I am not sure if it has this `cancel inactive` feature.

A bconsole `help cancel` command will show if it is available.

Hope this h
elps,
Bill
