Hmm...I dont like the fact that if my server and nas devices are all damaged in a fire (for example) then my off site backup copy (the encrypted tape) is useless to me! I dont see the point of having the offsite copy, if what is saved on the tape cant be restored! I'm no system admin, or have any experience in other backup software so dont know if this is the case with them as well or if this is just a down point for using bacula.
My boss would like the tapes encrypted as there may be confidential data on the tapes so encrypting the tapes is a requirement for him. Is there any way that I could keep the bacula catalog unencrypted on the same tape? Is this possible to specify in the config files? Or is this being illogical as then anyone can restore the data if they have knowledge on bacula even if the other contents on the tape is encrypted...or is just sending a dump of the bacula catalog via email or to an off site location the only option if we encrypt the tape....
