Hello.

I see that I did not use "Purge Migration Job = yes", That should explain, while the old volumes still exist fully.

Sorry for the very rough question.
I will try to make the scenario a bit more understandable:

On the hard drive we have on site, a new volume is created every month, starting with a full backup, so that we always need just one volume for any restore process.

I would like to keep this seperation when migrating the volumes to an external drive. I do not know how to do it without creating several jobs though. Each Volume has a different size, so "Maximum Volume Bytes" is not an option.

Here is an example job and pool:

Job {
  Name = "Migrate-WS-003"
  Type = Migrate
  Client = ubuntu_fd
  FileSet = None
  Level = Full
  Messages = Standard
  Storage = Storage_WS-003
  Pool = Pool_WS-003
  Write bootstrap = "/mnt/removableDrive/WS-003/bootstrap_%c.bsr"
  Selection Type = Client
  Selection Pattern = "WS-003_fd"
  Reschedule On Error = no
}

Pool {
  Name = External_WS-003
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = no
  AutoPrune = no
  Volume Retention = 5 year
  Storage = RemovableStorage_WS-003
}

Pool {
  Name = Pool_WS-003
  Pool Type = Backup
  Recycle = no
  AutoPrune = no
  Volume Retention = 1 year
  Label Format = "WS003-Volume"
  Next Pool = External_WS-003
}
Regards,

Florian S.

What exactly you want? Your question is not so clear.

If you have 5 old volumes in one pool and you want to move this old volumes to another pool you can use a migration job.

Job{
  Name = "Migration_Job"
  Type = Migrate
  JobDefs = "Backup_Defaults"
  Client  = srv_bacula-fd
  FileSet = "FileSet_SRV_Bacula"
  Pool = "Pool-Old"
  NextPool = "Pool-New"
  Selection Type = SqlQuery
  Selection Pattern = "select distinct JobId from JobMedia where MediaId in (select MediaId from Media where VolumeName like 'Volume-Name-%');"
  Purge Migration Job = yes
  Enabled = no
}


Pool{
  Name = "Pool-Old"
  Pool Type = Backup
  Autoprune = yes
  LabelFormat = "Volume-Name-${NumVols}"
  Maximum Volume Bytes = 10Gb
  Maximum Volumes = 100
  NextPool = "Pool-New"
  Storage = StorageLocal
}


Best Regards

Hello, again.

As a quick additional question:
I used to create one volume per month, starting with a full backup. Is
there any way how I can migrate the data to create the exact same
structure?

E.g. 5 old volumes = 5 new volumes

Regards,

Florian S.
