Hi,
Thanks for answering,

seems that bacula does not restore directly from a Copy job,
is there a more usable way to have two copies in one job?

"The Copy process is essentially identical to the Migration feature with the 
exception that the Job that is copied is left unchanged. This essentially 
creates two identical copies of the same backup. However, the copy is treated 
as a copy rather than a backup job, and hence is not directly available for 
restore. If bacula founds a copy when a job record is purged (deleted) from the 
catalog, it will promote the copy as real backup and will make it available for 
automatic restore. "
>>From bacula docs

Thanks!

Not directly. You may be able to create a Copy job. But that would tie
up your archive for some time.
