Dear bacula users,

I need to upgrade one of my old tape library pools from LTO4 to LTO8. The pool 
consists of about 100 tapes with about 18000 jobs.
I wonder about the best practice to transfer all these jobs to new tapes in a 
new pool. I could do it with a copy-job but it would take months to complete 
because each job is first restored and then written to the new tape. Overhead 
is about 4-5 minutes for each job.

I read the manpages for bcopy. Maybe this would be the tool I should use? Would 
bcopy copy the bacula tape label, too? Is bcopy able to handle jobs that are 
split over more than one tape? Can I bcopy all tapes at once?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Kind regards
Christoph
