A bit of confusion regarding job migration today on IRC:

>>From : http://www.bacula.org/5.0.x-manuals/en/main/main/Migration_Copy.html

"The term Migration, as used in the context of Bacula, means moving data
from one Volume to another"

Strictly speaking, the data is always copied as far as I can tell.  The
source Volume remains unchanged.  Catalog data is moved around (for a
Migration; not a Copy).

I think that first sentence is misleading some people who are expecting
their source Volumes to be reduced in size.

Agreed?

Another question:

After the job migration has been run, is the expected status of the
destination Volume = 'Append'?  All other things being equal (such as max
size etc, use once, etc).
