Subject: Migration Tape to Tape

 

Is it possible to Migrate from Tape to Tape using an Autochanger with only
One Drive?

 

Bacula 3.0.2

 

TIA,

 

 

Mmm, I had a feeling that this might not be possible.

 

So, would the following be a viable option?

 

The situation = I have a few 800 Gb tapes that have a 30 Gb Full backup on
them which I would like to keep.  Everything else on the tapes is no
longer required.

The problem = Migration from tape to tape with single drive cannot happen.

Solution(???)= Restore the backup to /BaculaRestores.  Then run a new
backup job which will only backup the contents of /BaculaRestores.

 

Would that work?

Any potential issues?

 

And just to be difficult, it's a Windows Server 2003.

 

Any comments appreciated.
