What I would do in your place here is copy a test volume from the old SD to the new, and see whether you can bscan it in and then perform a test restore from it. If you can do that, then you don't need to set up a second SD, as long as you have sufficient space for those volumes. I don't recall offhand how many versions back old volumes are spec'd to remain readable. -- Phil Stracchino Fenian House Publishing [email protected] [email protected] Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
