We're running Bacula v13.0.1.  Some of our backups are to S3 which then go
to Glacier after a set period of time.  When doing restores from S3, the
necessary file is downloaded automatically from S3 but, if it involves
Glacier, it appears that no attempt is made to retrieve the file. Bacula
just sits waiting for the part file, so we have to actually manually
initiate the retrieval from Glacier and then Bacula continues once the part
file has appeared in S3.
https://www.bacula.org/13.0.x-manuals/en/main/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html
seems to indicate that Bacula works with AWS Glacier as it states:

Transfer Priority = <High | Medium | Low>
> When restoring directly a part from Glacier, this directive indicates the
> rehydration priority level. Values can be High, Medium or Low. Default is
> High. Those values match respectively Expeditive, Standard and Bulk transfers
> tiers within S3.


We configured Transfer Priority = "Low" so we expected it to use the Bulk
transfer tier - see
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/downloading-an-archive-two-steps.html.
Is Bacula capable of initiating the Glacier restore?  Or is that config
(Transfer Priority) not what we thought?

Thanks.
