Hello,

we are using bacula configured for a disk-to-disk-to-tape backup as 
described in the v3.0-documentation 
(http://bacula.org/3.0.x-manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features_in_3_0_0.html#SECTION00520000000000000000).
That means we have the newest backup on a "disk-pool" and older versions 
of backups on a tape library referenced via "tape-pool".

We want to have now an additional backup every few weeks which is 
off-site. I was thinking about configuring a new job which copies the 
jobs of the disk-pool to a new "offsite-pool". As far as I see this is 
not possible because it is not possible to configure two different "Next 
Pool" for the disk-pool -- and the disk-to-disk-to-tape configuration 
still needs the "tape-pool" as next pool for the "disk-pool".

Any suggestions? Too many pools in my head? ;-)

The mailing list show me some discussions in this direction, for example 
http://old.nabble.com/Feature-Request%3A-Allow-schedule-to-override-NextPool-tt26437695.html
 
about use of "next pools" and 
http://www.mail-archive.com/bacula-devel AT lists.sourceforge DOT 
net/msg04177.html 
about using (or not using) virtualfull backups for off-site storage.

But I didn't find a general suggestion for a backup solution with 
several backup versions on-site on a tape library and additionally some 
tapes for off-site storage...

Best regards     Tobias
