Hello,
Did you ever get an answer to this? If not it is a real pity. In any case,
beginning in November, I will be making a new Wish List, and this item will
probably be on in, if not, please submit it. Then maybe we can make some
progress toward what you want ...
Ok, I'll answer :-)

Hello !
I already contacted Kern about this and he suggested that i ask the
lists about this.
We want to backup all our clients to disk and then mirror these backups
to tape. We want the ability to do quick restores from the disk (last
2-4 weeks depending on backup size) but also create a tape archive
spanning several months if we need anything that is not on the
disk-storage anymore (because the volume got recycled).
At the moment this is not implemented. If anyone knows a workaround i`m
open for suggestions.
I think we discussed the possible workarounds, but that might have been
someone else. Anyway, in the list archives, there should be some
discussions concerning this. I'll just call it job migration and
multiplication or, to save typing, JMM ;-)
Are there any developers out there that would like to implement this? Is
someone else even interested in this feature ? Would you support the
development of this feature ?
I would be interested, I can't implement it, and I would continue my
support in terms of time - discussing and testing. No money unless I
find someone who pays me for it first.
My company would like to support the development of this feature
financially if there is a programmer that is willing to do it.
So what are your thoughts ?
Well, on the developers list much of it was already discussed, I think.
David Boyes, Kern Sibbald and others expressed their ideas. Tho one
thing that was not expressly stated, but which would be required for
your schema, is that, instead of moving a job from one media / pool /
storage to another, it should be possible to copy it, too.
So, to implement it, several other things have to be solved first:
- having jobs more than once on media. The catalog would need a
modification, I guess.
- restoring from different media / SD needs to be possible. If not, IMO
this is not fit for daily use.
- job migration as planned needs to be iplemented and must support job
copying, too.
Just what I think needs to be done before this can go into production. I
surely didn't mentio the thousands of small tweaks necessary :-)
