[Bacula-users] Help Me Configure My Migration!

[infosyst <bac...@ba...>]

I want to setup migration and need some thoughts on the best way to configure things in order to achieve what I want.

I have a backup server running bacula 2.4.4. It runs backups over the network for 9 different servers and stores them to hard disk. I run a single full backup once a week and differential backups every night the rest of the week in a 7 day cycle.

This is fine, but now I would like to migrate my backups to tape and store the tape off-site each day. My thought is to move the hard drive backups to a single day cycle and use the tapes for a 14 day cycle. That way I never have to worry about disk space as there is always only a single day of backups stored on the disks. This also means that the previous nights backups are stored securely off-site as soon as they are migrated to tape.

So basically what is the best configuration for doing this? My biggest challenge is configuring the Pools/Volumes/Jobs in a layout that is ideal for this setup. How should I approach that? Or should I be taking a different approach to this?
