This is quite a challenging and beautiful task you have. I don't know the
reasons for this demand, but it would be much user to migrate the data from the
original Bacula catalog.
Anyways: I'm not sure if bscan is cable to automagically load the tapes, but
there are a few things you need to have in mind:
1. The bacula-sd must be stopped, or at least not configured to use the drive
you will use for bscan.
2. The tapes need to be bscanned in the order they were written. From the
oldest to the newest. Perhaps you could use the lastwritten field to sort.
I would write a shell script to sort the tapes accordinly, fetch their slots,
and perform a mtx -f <device> load an unload between the bscans.
Atte.
