[Bacula-users] recommendations for failover system backups

Hi All,

I'm going to be adding a new pair of boxes to the network shortly.
One box will be a primary server and the other a hot standby.  The hot
standby will sync the live system nightly.

As I see it, I've got a few options for backup here:

1. Backup both boxes, pay the heavy price of duplicated data (or use a
   base job, etc)
2. Backup only the failover system and the config for the live system,
   making the failover the primary recovery source.
3. Backup only the primary system and config on the failover.
4. Attempt to backup only a single system, determined by which one is
   holder the virtual IP that will run the service.

I'm inclined toward either 2 or 3 but am curious what the experts
think.

Thanks
-Ben
