Are you using a separate volume per job? In that case, you could simply forego 
a copy job altogether and just copy the disk files themselves. 100 years from 
now, you may have a problem simply reading the database. So it may be easier 
and better to just rely on the files themselves. Write a shell script that 
figures out which files to copy (possibly using SQL queries in the process) and 
renames them to something meaningful at the same time.

Subject: [Bacula-users] Multiple Next Pools

Hi all,

We make backups of about 200 server at the moment, to disk. Twice a week a Full 
backup and 5 times a week an incremental. Every day is a different pool, so the 
tape drives won't interfere with the backup to disk and vice versa. We write 
the data to tape using a copy job.

The tapes have a retention of 30 days. Now we want to archive some data 
forever. Lets say 100 years. The thought was, since we already have the data on 
disk I wanted to use a second copy job to copy the data to a separate pool, 
where we use a Migrate job to move the data to a different tape set.

So what I basically want is that data is copied on a daily basis to pool_a and 
once a month to pool_a and pool_b.

I can't figure out how to configure this. I don't know if it is even possible. 
Can anyone help me with this?

Kind regards,

Enrico van Goor
System & Network Engineer.
