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."
