I had to run backups to Disk only while the tape drive was repaired.

Now the drive returned and I would like to migrate all the backups on disk to tape.

"Migrate" Jobs should help here, right?

I defined a job like this:

Job {
  Name = "migrate-to-tape"
  Type = "Migrate"
  Storage = "File"
  Pool = "File"
  NextPool = "Daily"
  JobDefs = "DefaultJob"
  PurgeMigrationJob = no
  MaximumSpawnedJobs = 20
  SelectionPattern = "."
  SelectionType = "Volume"
}

* If this gets started it generates 2 jobs per "source job", it seems. Is that correct?

* Do I have to remove the source volumes from disk by myself? I was assuming I could have Bacula do that: as soon as the backups are migrated to tape, the original disk-based volumes could/should be removed in my case. I don't want to keep them.

* PurgeMigrationJob: if I set this to Yes, does that mean that the "source job" is deleted after a successful migration? Only the job in terms of "that one run" and not its definition, right?

* Would a SelectionPattern like this "Vol-0." work? A wildcard with "*" did not work as I expected.

Thanks all!
