Re: 'Lock' retention on a media...

> Uh. Oh. But why not simply move the media to the archive pool?

For search engines: it worked.


I can move a volume to a different pool:
	>  *update volume=SVPVE3_0001 pool=FVG-SV-SVPVE3ArchiveLTOPool

where more loose retention apply, then obviously re-apply retention
parameters itself:

	>  *update volume allfrompool=FVG-SV-SVPVE3ArchiveLTOPool

And after original volume retention apply, metadata are still there:

*query
Available queries:
     1: The default file is empty, see sample-query.sql (in /opt/bacula/scripts or <bacula-source>/examples) for samples
     2: List Volumes Bacula thinks are in changer
     3: List Jobs stored for a given Volume name
Choose a query (1-3): 3
Enter Volume name: SVPVE3_0001
