Hi Jose Antonio, why don't you use the Spanish list? I'll be proud to
help you in spanish too.. ;)

1.- You don't lose the track of your volumes even if you move to
another location (tape or other) , but if you want to recycle those
volumes the best way to copy to another location is using the COPY or
MIGRATION features of Bacula.

2.- If you want to change the definition of a Pool you must use the
update command from bconsole. To delete a pool, first move the volumes
to another pool. If you want to change the Retention Period use update
command too..

Javier
