Re: [Bacula-users] Moving volumes from one SD to another

[Kern Sibbald]

Hello Dan, From what users have reported, one must update the storageid, and it is clear to me that if you use the same name for the Storage in the Director's resource but it points to a different machine, you must update the storageid.  However, if you use a new name for the new storage daemon, in theory one should not need to update the storageid.  If it is required then in my view there is a problem, because Bacula *should* be relatively transparent to allowing you to move volumes from one Storage definition to another.

I want to copy all the old Volumes to the new SD and have them available there.  I suspect all I need to do is copy the Volumes over, then run an SQL command to adjust the storageid for all volumes which refer to old SD.  I think some of you have already done this.
