What you want seems to be he ability to copy volumes,possibly to another

Thanks Arno, you always seem to have very helpful insights. These
features would definitely represent a step up in complexity, and
functionality.
Honestly, I'd love the restore-from-one-of-several-copies feature even
if I had to choose which volume to use for the restore from a list of

I agree. Arno is knowledgeable, helpful, and seemingly always in good
cheer. Bravo, Arno!

I was one of the more recent posters on this topic.
The tools I have used in the past used whichever volume was loaded as
long as it was one of the ones it asked for. So, if the original backup
was on volume123, and copied to volume456, a list of *all* the volumes

This sounds like a reasonable approach. If I request to restore a
particular object and the exact object version exists on multiple
volumes, it really doesn't matter which volume it is restored from.
As long as that object gets restored, I will be happy. Of course, it
could make my life easier
I think some of the code contains what might be a good solution.
Right now, when a scheduled backup issues a mount request for a tape, it
doesn't matter what tape I load as long as it meets the requirements to
be used. If it asks me for volume123 from pool xyz, and I load

Dwight,
Thanks for the thoughts, very helpful!

After much thought, I think the best solution for my needs is to have
all full and incremental backups saved to disk volumes my large drive
for fast backups and convenient restores. In addition, I would like a
weekly full backups of all systems stored on tape so that it can be
taken offsite.
Hello,
I've been using bacula for a couple years, backing up several servers
to an HP DAT40x6 autochanger. It has worked great! However, I had a
failure on my backup server and I've now rebuilt it, installing recent
bacula versions, and an additional large hard drive.
So I now have a 500GB

I have a somewhat similar situation but have XP clients on workstations
and laptops to backup as well as some Linux servers. The tape unit is a
HP Dat 72x6.
I am trying to get Migration to work - nearly there.

Stephen,
Thanks again for the details about your backup plan.
Yes the data is moved from disc to tape and I agree it would be nice to
access the data off disc instead of tape. The Volume on disc still
exists but will be recycled when needed. My test restore came off the
tape. If you run a
