Hey John,
I have a similar problem at the moment. The problem originates from the
fact that Bacula seems to be unable to seperate restore jobs based on
storage pools (so a system with files stored in multiple pools will
require volumes from all pools used).
As far as I know this is currently not solved - you might work around it
by making a full offsite backup followed by a full local backup: this
way both locations have a complete data set. But for my sake it is too
much work and takes too much space.
Bacula 3.0 will have Copy Jobs - a job type which copies backup jobs
between storage pools. I think that is great for getting the offsite
backups you and me want :-)
Regards,
Berend Dekens
