Hello, we are using bacula configured for a disk-to-disk-to-tape backup as described in the v3.0-documentation (http://bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features_in_3_0_0.html#SECTION00520000000000000000). That means we have the newest backup on a "disk-pool" and older versions of backups on a tape library referenced via "tape-pool".
We want to have now an additional backup every few weeks which is off-site. I was thinking about configuring a new job which copies the jobs of the disk-pool to a new "offsite-pool". As far as I see this is not possible because it is not possible to configure two different "Next Pool" for the disk-pool -- and the disk-to-disk-to-tape configuration still needs the "tape-pool" as next pool for the "disk-pool". Any suggestions? Too many pools in my head? ;-) The mailing list show me some discussions in this direction, for example http://old.nabble.com/Feature-Request%3A-Allow-schedule-to-override-NextPool-tt26437695.html about use of "next pools" and http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-de...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04177.html about using (or not using) virtualfull backups for off-site storage. But I didn't find a general suggestion for a backup solution with several backup versions on-site on a tape library and additionally some tapes for off-site storage...
