Wait for job migration / copying to be complete... (only joking, job 
copying will surely need much more time...)

So I understand you only need the latest job from Full.

Without verifying bcopy's operation - this does sound like what you need 
to me: bcopy creates a new volume containing everything represented in a 
bootstrap file. Which, in turn, describes a complete backup set.

Probably not directly.

Well, one simple solution would be to simply copy the volume file you 
need, provided it only holds data from one job (which can be set up 
rather easily).

When restoring you have to be careful to not mix up the volumes, but 
this can be handled using re-labeling the copied volme file and 
bscanning it into the catalog, I guess.

The other solution might be to take the bootstrap file created after the 
full backups and run bcopy with it. This could be done using an admin 
job with a "Run After Job" script, for example.

This is not implemented - Migration is becoming stable and will be in 
version 1.40, but there's no fixed timeline. Archiving will probably be 
different than being handled by the pool type, and Copy and Save pools 
are not yet used. I think.

In your place, I'd investigate if simply copying and rnaming the volume 
files would be working, or try the bcopy approach with the proper 
bootstrap file.
