Well, this indeed is a good workarround. Im already using job migration,
but for other tasks (regular file-backups).
In that special case, the data to archive onto LTO is already
backup-data (iSCSI exported WindowsBackupDrives). But of course I could
do another intermediate-backup. Will do that I guess. As long as I'm not
occupying too much space from my spool device (2TB only), since my
backup-pool is pretty well filled and I don't like backing up the same
data twice on the same spindle-pool…

Having an option which allows spooling start pre-volume-mount would life
make easier, though.

Thanks,
