Hi Wanderlei
Thank you very much for getting back to me. I should have said that we currently cant bscan any tapes into
our catalogue. I’m the new sys admin in our company I’ve inherited this and bacula is in a pretty bad state at the moment. I can only blist and bextract individual files from tapes at the moment. When I try to bscan I get a segmentation fault error. I’ve had
a look online and the way to fix that is to migrate the database from MySQL to postgres and a fresh install of a newer version of bacula. We’re currently running on Ubuntu 10 and Bacula 5.0.1 it badly needs some TLC. I’m planning to switch over to postgres
and a newer version of bacula in a month or two but for now if there was any other method other than bscan to force bacula to look at an old tape I’d love to know.
Kind Regards

Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Moving old bacula Volume to Tape (LTO)
Hello Anthony
You could use bscan to read the Volume4 to recreate the information in catalog and after that, migrate the Jobs.

Hi everyone
I was hoping someone could answer a very quick question I had about migrating old bacula volumes to tape. We have our File Retention Period for 3 months after which we move files to an LTO-5 Tape. We also have a migration job setup in the conf
files of our servers that move to volumes to tape after 3 months (then the jobs are purged from the bacula catalogue) Due to unforeseen issues with our tape drive we missed one of these migration jobs. Now on our server the file layout looks like this: Volume1,
Volume2, Volume3, and Volume4 (Volume4 being the one that we missed) I can't run a Migration job now as every time I try it looks to migrate Volume3 (as its 3 months old) If there any way I can force bacula to look at a specific volume and migrate that to
tape. the command I'm using is: '*run client=Server-fd job=Server-Migration-Job Level=Full storage=Server-Storage"
Does anyone know if there is a way to get bacula to migrate the missing Volume4 to LTO tape
Kind Regards
