I believe for that you will need 2 independent jobs that share the
same jobdef resource. The reason is that you do not want the daily
incrementals to be based off the off site set. The next version of
bacula will introduce a copy job that will allow you have bacula make
additional copies of jobs that have completed. In this way you can
make the full backup local and duplicate it for the remote storage.

You are talking about tapes correct? If not you can just rsync the
volume files to a remote site if you wanted and setup a longer
retention period for local full backups.
