I like the idea of copy job the best. Take your full backup and copy it to a special pool, one which is always destined for off site transport. Your original backup remains on site. No chance of a mix up. If you want to try that, I've written stuff about copy jobs: http://www.freebsddiary.org/bacula-disk-to-tape.php http://www.freebsddiary.org/bacula-disk-to-tape-via-sql.php Read them both, all the way through, before trying anything. :) -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
