Is it possible to use Bacula to backup to both disk and tape?

For example, you could do a monthly full backup to disk and daily incremental to tape. I tried creating two jobs for each client, but when the incremental ran Bacula could not find a suitable full backup volume (probably because it's located on disk) and proceeded to do a full backup to tape.

I don't know how else you would configure this because you can only specify (as far as I know) one storage device in the Job Resource. Any ideas?



Don't just read this and say yes this seems right - check with the manual and do some testing, Im not 100% confidenta nd Im not running the latest bacula.

Having said that...
You can overide the device in the schedule and have a separate schedule for the diff and the fulls but use the same fileset. Howevever I have done this and had problems with restores, because bacula (if I recall corretly) would only restore from one storage device for a restore job. So what I have is separate file sets for disk and tape and that means I get two full backups and two sets of diffs for each (identical file set).
