Hi,

Mr. Bacula Users,

I wanted to write a paper / guide that outlines the process of migrating backup data written with property software for Bacula. I think those are some premises: 

1. I know this will probably involve restore the legacy data to a given mount point in the respective servers and backup it again? Maybe with suffix manipulation?
I guess I would try to restore the data to some server . Whether the data is restored to the original server or not does not bother me. I would prefer preserving the directory structure insetead. And I would restore to the same operating system type if possible. 

2. And how about changing today job backup date to the real date of the first backup of the legacy data? Anyone has done queries that could share?
Using separate jobs with a naming convention that includes the original backup date might also work. You could also run those jobs to different pools with appropriate retention periods.
 
3. Whatever you suggest.

Kind regards

Julian
