I would also like to know the answer to Jerome's initial question of whether the limitation still exists, which stops us from being able to copy between storage daemons. 

Copying data between SD's would be the 'icing on the cake' to my new Bacula system!

Kind regards,

Joe

Hello,

I'm trying to copy jobs from one server to another.
I defined 2 storage daemons:

======================================================================
# Definition of file storage device
Storage {
  Name = "File"
  Address = tucana.domain                # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "password1"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}

Storage {
  Name = "File-Copy"
  Address = carina.domain
  SDPort = 9103
  Password = "password2"
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 5
  Device = FileStorage
  Media Type = File
}
======================================================================

I defined 2 pools:

======================================================================
# File Pool definition
Pool {
  Name = File
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  LabelFormat = "Vol"
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 35 days          # one month
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
  Maximum Volumes = 100               # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
  RecyclePool = Scratch
  NextPool = File-Copy
}

# File Pool definition
Pool {
  Name = File-Copy
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = yes                       # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
  LabelFormat = "Copy"
  AutoPrune = yes                     # Prune expired volumes
  Volume Retention = 35 days          # one month
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 50G          # Limit Volume size to something reasonable
  Maximum Volumes = 80                # Limit number of Volumes in Pool
  Recycle Oldest Volume = yes
  Storage = "File-Copy"
}
======================================================================

Then, I created a job:
======================================================================
Job {
  Name = "CopyJob"
  Type = Copy
  Level = Full
  Client = tucana-fd
  FileSet = "Full Set"
  Messages = Standard
  Pool = File
  Maximum Concurrent Jobs = 4
  Storage = "File"
  Selection Type = Client
  SelectionPattern = tucana-fd
}
======================================================================

When I run it, I have the following director status:

Running Jobs:
Console connected at 15-août011 14:34
Console connected at 15-août011 17:53
 JobId Level   Name                       Status
======================================================================
 25044 Full    CopyJob.2011-08-15_17.47.16_39 is waiting on max Client jobs
 25045 Full    CopyJob.2011-08-15_17.47.16_40 is waiting on Storage File-Copy
 25046 Increme  Backup_tucana.2011-08-15_17.47.16_41 is waiting on Storage File
 25047 Full    CopyJob.2011-08-15_17.47.16_42 is waiting on max Client jobs

In this link: http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/Migration_Copy.html
It's written that "Migration is only implemented for a single Storage daemon. You cannot read on one Storage daemon and write on another."

Is this sentence still true ?
Can you confirm I'm concerned by this limitation ?

Best regards.
Jerome Blion.
