I take it you do not have a tape library or a drive, so you are doing backups to disk?
What do you WANT to have happen? What is your offsite procedure? I have a 10 tape library and I run a full once a week and swap out those full tapes on a weekly basis so I always have 4 weeks of full backups in the library and a 5 week off site. Are you trying to accomplish something like the above? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danie Theron Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 9:49 AM To: Bacula-Users Subject: [Bacula-users] Some advise needed Hi All , I've been using bacula for a while now , and need to do a harddrive (SATA) upgrade (or shall I say bluntly I'm running out of disk space!).My problem is , I only have a 2U server (4 300GB SATA in RAID 5 array) , and 2 trays for my offsite disks.So , to briefly explain my setup (and please tell me where I need to specify more): 2U Intel Server with SATA RAID controller OS - Fedora Core 3 , resides on the RAID 5 array , 4 300GB Seagates (not sure if it's the safest bet) Bacula version - Version: 1.38.0 (28 October 2005) For the offsites (and once again probably not the best way , any suggestions?) , I pop in the disk , mount it and then copy over the previous nights volumes. This however I've seen is quite tedious , and could possibly get confusing and difficult to manage. Would it be possible to rather setup a USB/Firewire disk , with a mount point for offsites and let bacula then backup the volumes? OK , so basically I need some advise on how to move forward with either this setup , or rethink my strategy. Also I must add I'm not an expert at this and it's basically been given to me to sort out.
