Hi all, After trying the new beta's which hold Copy Jobs support I discovered that a copy job (just like a migration job) can only transfer data from one storage pool to another within *the same* storage daemon. Because I wanted to use this for offsite backups this won't work for me.
I tried to get offsite backups by doing a local backup first to the local SD and then another backup to the remote SD. This works fine when backupping but when you need to recover data (and you are using incrementals or differentials instead of full backups) the SD which you told to perform the restore will most likely ask for backup volumes which are part of the remote pool and remote SD. For some reason it seems that bacula can't keep the pool data seperate so this way of offsite backupping won't work (unless I missed an option somewhere). I now came up with a new plan: the offsite location has its own Bacula backup system with a seperate director and clients. The local bacula shares the storage daemon of the remote system (making scheduling a tad tricky to prevent 2 directors wanting to run jobs on the same SD). If I let the remote director backup the local systems, the data is completely offsite (including database) - giving me what I want. The biggest problem here is redundancy: I need to configure both directors for all clients (local and remote), all file sets used and add new schedules. Besides that I reckon this would/should/could work - right? Regards, Berend Dekens P.S. Hasn't anybody created a graphical configuration program for bacula yet? ^^ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
