You should be able to use Bacula's migration feature to move jobs on an old volume to a new volume on the vchanger autochanger. Check the Migration and Copy chapter of the Bacula Main Reference. This will require a new pool for the vchanger volumes. Volumes in the old pool will be moved to vcahnger volumes in a new/different pool. Once a volume is successfully migrated to the new volume, the old volume can be deleted and its space reclaimed. In other words, it is the same as migrating a disk volume to a tape volume. After all of the volumes are migrated, then change the client Jobs to use the new pool and vchanger storage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BlackBerry® DevCon Americas, Oct. 18-20, San Francisco, CA The must-attend event for mobile developers.
