That's exactly the sort of solution I'm looking at. I specifically said *not* USB in fact. eSATA is definitely an option, but I have a perfectly good SAS controller now sitting idle and it'd be a shame to let that go to waste. I was more asking for recommends/avoids on specific hardware devices, and how people generally configure a removable-hard-drive scheme in Bacula. (Right now, as an interim solution, I'm backing up to my NAS, but that's ... rather far from ideal.) > but first you should tell us the demands you need to accomplish with > your desired backup media.... maybe you have some sort of SLA or other > contracts which are demanding specific parameters to your backup > solution? Nope, no SLAs involved except my own needs. I want it isolated from online systems, I want to have minimal media changing fuss, I don't want to spend $500 a cartridge for RDX or buy a tape robot, and I'm just done with tape and its attendant problems. -- Phil Stracchino Babylon Communications ph...@caerllewys.net p...@co.ordinate.org Landline: +1.603.293.8485 Mobile: +1.603.998.6958 _______________________________________________ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
