Hello, If you are doing any kind of "copy" of data (Migration, Copy, VirtualFull, ...), it seems to me to be obvious, but perhaps I am mistaken, you need two different Storage daemon device definitions -- one to read a Volume, and one to write to a different Volume.

Okay, so if I understand correctly, "no previous jobs found" in this case (progressive virtual full) actually means "not enough previous jobs found"? On Wed, Apr 10, 2019 at 2:55 PM Bill Arlofski wrote: > On 4/10/19 12:35 PM, David Brodbeck wrote: > > I'm having trouble getting virtual full back
