    I've not tried to duplicat to standalone. Is there maybe a pending request for next media popping up in device monitor?

It is solved, first I had the job running and I didn't pay attention. When I looked at the job again it was failed, probably because of a timeout. This happened several times. 

Then I tried again and when I guessed the tape was almost full I looked at it until the messages came there was no space left also there was a mount request. Then I went to the server and the tape-drive. The tape was already ejected. When I put an empty tape in, which was already labelled, the job continued and finished successful.
