Thanks.

Will migrate move or copy the data?
 From that page:
The term Migration, as used in the context of Bacula, means moving data 
from one Volume to another. In particular it refers to a Job (similar to 
a backup job) that reads data that was previously backed up to a Volume 
and writes it to another Volume. As part of this process, the File 
catalog records associated with the first backup job are purged. In 
other words, Migration moves Bacula Job data from one Volume to another 
by reading the Job data from the Volume it is stored on, writing it to a 
different Volume in a different Pool, and then purging the database 
records for the first Job.

Sound to me like it moves it and doesn't copy it
