Greetings Currently, migration and copy only works within the same storage daemon. So if you have a single storage host with multiple storage devices it works. I use it by backing up to disk overnight. Then in the morning, running copy jobs from disk to tape. It works like a charm. It's great for running to a guaranteed working device then later put it to a tape device. http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/Migration_Copy.html "Migration is only implemented for a single Storage daemon. You cannot read on one Storage daemon and write on another." Feel free to put in a feature request http://www.bacula.org/en/?page=feature-request Dirk > I know the volume contains good backups and is marked as "Full." > > If I estimate the job, it seems to report a full backup would be > copied or migrated.
