You need to update the Pool association and the Media Type so the existing volumes fit to your modified setup. The pool association can be changed using the 'update volume' command in bconsole. The Media Type, as far as I know, can only be changed by accessing the catalog database directly. So, for example, you do something like 'UPDATE Media SET MediaType="FileNoMedia" WHERE VolumeName="Whatever";' with your catalog database frontend - which might even be bconsoles 'sqlquery' command. Obviously you'd only do this if you know what you do and have a current catalog database backup... > >>Do test restores from both pools. >>Fix any remaining errors ;-) > > > I'll do ;-) Thanks a lot.
