Any thoughts on this scenario? I'm not sure that a quick answer exists. I'd like to have bacula back up our collection of hosts to it's file-based pool, so that we can browse backups "online" and restore individual files quickly.
I'd also like to have a complete off-site copy of the pool for disaster prevention. So what I think I'd like to do is: backup to the file pool, then copy new files to dvd's, but in a way that bacula is aware of both copies. Then when devices get purged from the file pool, bacula will still be aware of the copy on dvd. Migrating doesn't quite work because that removes new data from the file pool, which limits our ability to browse and restore backups automatically. Manually copying files a la bimagemgr doesn't work because bacula is not aware of the copies, and then when the file pool is purged, it will think that the backups are gone for good. Could I label dvd's, copy data to them manually, then later set up a "dummy" migration program that doesn't actually copy data, but reports that it has? Any other ideas?
