I frequently have to archive data off the server that should never expire. I would like to archive this data onto a new tape, so the archived data is the only thing on the tape. How do I tell Bacula to do this? I think it has something to do with the Pools, so below is my bacula-dir.conf. I've setup an Archive Pool along with some others, but haven't used them yet.
