Unfortunately, neither of those good ideas will help. The Volume name is
embedded in the Bacula Volume label record on the medium so that Bacula can
find out what the Volume name really is. To change it, you would need to
change the Volume data, which is not something I recommend. All records are
contained in blocks, and all blocks are checksummed, so it would be a real
pain to try to change a Volume name ...
Doing a bcopy might work, but it is largely untested. However, bcopy does not
update the catalog, so your first suggestion might be valid after a bcopy.
If anyone tries it, please let me know ...
