No ignore it, follow the sourceforge link in the topmost "revision
history" bulletpoint.

Could someone with wiki edit permissions replace this page with the link
to http://sourceforge.net/projects/vchanger/ pretty please?

You'll have to migrate it back somehow but aside from that, as long as
you don't overwrite the volume it shouldn't care.

Cheap sata disks are already cheaper than tape so I'm not sure why you'd
migrate to tape rather than just pull the disk out of the dock and stick
a new one in. With cloud storage you'd have to fake that somehow. Either
way you add your "new" disk to vchanger, have it make a bunch of new
volumes on it & you're set.
