Subject: Migration Tape to Tape
Is it possible to Migrate from Tape to Tape using an
Autochanger with only One Drive?
Bacula 3.0.2
TIA,
Mmm, I had a feeling that this might not be possible.
So, would the following be a viable option?
The situation = I have a few 800 Gb tapes that have a 30 Gb
Full backup on them which I would like to keep. Everything else on the
tapes is no longer required.
The problem = Migration from tape to tape with single drive
cannot happen.
Solution(???)= Restore the backup to /BaculaRestores.
Then run a new backup job which will only backup the contents of
/BaculaRestores.
Would that work?
Any potential issues?
And just to be difficult, it’s a Windows Server 2003.
Any comments appreciated.
