Greetings
Currently, migration and copy only works within the same storage daemon.
So if you have a single storage host with multiple storage devices it
works. I use it by backing up to disk overnight. Then in the morning,
running copy jobs from disk to tape. It works like a charm. It's great
for running to a guaranteed working device then later put it to a tape
device.

"Migration is only implemented for a single Storage daemon. You cannot
read on one Storage daemon and write on another."
Feel free to put in a feature request
