Re: [Bacula-users] Full to a diffrent SD and migrate to primary

[Marcus Hallberg]

Hi!

We use VirtualFull but at least the first backup has to be a real one and after that I want one real per year.

How much problem would it be to manually migrate the fullbackup into the database?

Process:

take a fullbackup to another SD

I have the File and I have all the filepaths and so on in the database since I use the same director

Manually change which SD that is responsible for the the fullbackup in the database so when I want to do a restore or a virtual full.

Hi!

We take a lot of backups over the internet from our clients and we sometimes have problems with the fullbackups which sometimes takes a very long time.

Did you investigate virtuall full backups ? This could reduce time and bandwidth.

I would appreciate some thoughts and points to how to make this easier.

My plan is to install a laptop with a SD and drive it out to the clients location and plug it in on their local network and then tell the director to send backups to the temporary SD. When it's ready take it back to my location and migrate the job over to the primary SD and change the config back so future backups end up in the primary SD.

Is this doable or is there a better way to do it?

AFAIK Bacula does not permit copy or migration over SDs. One way to manage this would be IMHO: copy volumes into the central SD, ajust media type with primary storage definition... I am not sure to recommend this.
