Dear bacula users,

my backup schedule is as follows:
Monthly Fulls, Weekly Differentials, Daily Incrementals. Backups go to file 
storage and are migrated to tape after 5 weeks. File volume retention is 6 
weeks, Tape volume retention is 12 month, job retention varies between 3 and 9 
month.

My question: Sometimes I need to recover data older than the job retention 
time. So the job cannot be found in the catalog but should be somewhere on the 
tapes. Without migration I were able to use a (say) 8 month old .bsr file to 
initiate a disaster recovery and extract the data to be restored.
But jobs are migrated after 6 weeks, so my .bsr files get unusable?

Kind regards
Christoph
