if i copy the Bacula volumes to tape after all the backups are done
... i mean copy the path "/opt/NASBackup" to tape.. is it make any
sense?
Well, if you also *consistantly* backups your catalogs... It can make sense. But if you consider it does, maybe you should also backup the backups of your volumes too ;).
Note that raw volume (without catalog) can be used to re-create catalogs entries but this a time consumming process, that make your backups less (quickly) usable.


Is it possible to restore if i do like that...
As I said aboce, not directly, you need to first recover the catalog.

And what if i run a job that backups this folder path (means backups
the whole  NAS) to tape ..  in this case all these Bacula volumes
going to be stored inside another large Bacula volume in tape.. is
that make any sense.. Is it possible to restore in this case..??
I think this is a generally a bad idea, unless you use it in disaster situation only.

pls can anyone help me?
