Had to eject the tape the re-insert the cartridge for Bacula to decide to
overwrite the tape. Bacula seems to be happily re-writing the tape.
In the meantime, I am restoring my previous configuration.
Final question...once the migration is complete, can I then move the tape back
into my "Weekly" pool and attempt restores from it?

Subject: [Bacula-users] Migration headaches
Hey gang,
Now this migration is becoming a headache.
I reread the migration section of the manual and though it does not
specifically say "Do not migrate within a pool!", it does discourage the act.
With that, I created the "Tape" pool and moved one of my tapes from the Weekly
pool into the "Tape" pool and the source job to the "Default" pool. I updated
the volume status of the source to "Full" and the Volume retention time of the
target volume (tape) to 1 hour. The source job is no longer in the pool to
which it was directed so I modified the original job to look there.
DAMN! This is getting to be to much trouble to simply move a 25GB backup to a
tape...(but I bristle, back to the explanation at hand.)
When I run the migration now, bconsole complains that the
Weekly pool has no "Next Pool" statement. I thought I was migrating from the
Default pool...whatever, I inserted a "Next Pool" statement pointing at the
"Tape" pool and bconsole seems happy. It's been more than an hour since the
tape was last used so why if the migration appending to the tape instead of
overwriting?
Note to self, if the backup fails to start...terminate it. It may be easier to
restore...or will it given the above gyrations.
