Hardware: 4 removeable 75G caddies. I've printed out and read the manual :)
I've setup bacula to backup about 8 servers to 4 removeable 75G caddies, and all is working fine using manual labelling and purging. I now want to setup automatic recycling and purging of the caddies - wondering if anyone has seen a FAQ on how to do this, or any pointers on the following configuration. One of the requirements is that each caddy be "stand alone" ie contain a full backup of required files from each server, so any of the caddies can be used for a restore without relying on other caddies. Motivation is that the servers/caddies I help admin are vulnerable to seizure by the authorities [1][2]. The caddies are distributed amongst various activists, and I may only have access to some of the caddies.
