Hallo,
I'm considering using Bacula for long term backups. I mean I would like
to backup now, put tapes somewhere safe and do not touch them
(hopefully) for year or two.
After a year or two I would repeat the backup again - no incremental
backup, just the whole full backup again on other set of tapes.
I would like to be not surprised by some glitch if I will need to
restore the backups. Considering the worst scenario I will only have my
backups and completely new machine with new tapedrive (of course
compatible with the tapes :-) ).
Till now I came up with this ideas:
* Backup catalog and bootstrap files with the data
* Disable jobs/files/volumes autopruning
* maybe modify some livecd to contain current version of bacula or at
least bscan (do not know, maybe such a CD exists)
* Create SQL query to list which jobs is on which tape and print it on
the paper with the tapes
Do you think this is enough or am I overseeing something?
Radek
