HI Mark, A quick answer, I guess you should investigate to run a virtual full + set it as archive jobs before your migration like what is done here https://docs.bareos.org/bareos-24/TasksAndConcepts/AlwaysIncrementalBackupScheme.html#virtual-full-jobs
The bonus is that now you will be able to restore directly from them even from the webui too.
