Hi List I have to (longtime) archive data on tape. To be sure that the data which was written on tape is ok i'd like to run a verify job after the successfull backup/archive job. The verify job should compare the data of the source with the data written on tape to ensure the data is save on tape before i may delete the source.
Is this somehow doable with bacula ? It seams to me that the currently implemented "verify" option in bacula will not read/verify data from tape but only compare checksums in the catalog database; which is a fine feature but will not ensure that the data on tape is ok. Will the tape drive itself ensure that the data is verified during the backup job (by a read-after-write verify)? I know tapes that have multiple heads, one for write, one for the verification of the written data. But is this valid for all tape drives ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
