Hello, I am a happy user of Bacula. Currently I'm only making backups to disk. I have made pools (of files) for every day of the week. What I would like to do is to clone those jobs so that they also get backupped on tape at the same time (or clone after the backup to disk is made) - so that I have a tape of every day which I can store on a different place, but i would still like to keep my disk archive so I can restore things quickly without running to the vault and selecting the right tape - I only want to do this when there is really a problem with my disk archive.
The best solution would be to clone the files which are stored on disk to tape, and I thought the new option "migration" would be a solution, but then everything is really "moved" - I would like to "copy" the backups to tape - so that i can restore from disk OR tape, whatever I choose. Another solution which I came across were the "Cloned Jobs" (in the current stable version of Bacula". As far as I understand this does what I want, only the network traffic will be doubled (which would currently be OK with the amount of data I'm backing up). Unfortunalty I cannot find a lot about this option in the documentation - I have made a pool with "Pool Type = Cloned", but I don't really understand how to really "clone" the jobs which are being started from within the Schedule directive. Does anybody can shed some light in my problem? Does somebody maybe has an example? Or should I wait for the next final version, will it also be possible with migration jobs?
