Thanks for your reply.
The problem I have is that the machine connected to
the tape drive is a Windows machine which serves
other purposes too. So that is why I was thinking of
copying the volumes along with the catalog database
to this and write to tape.
Hello Waqar: in my vision you have simpler
possibilities than emulating Bacula Copy features in a
nasty Windows Machine. E.g.: use your tape drive and a
BaculaSD within a Linux VM.
Starwind Tape Redirector can be used to establish the tape drive as
a iSCSI target on the Windows machine. Alternatively, rather than
using a second SD, a Hyper-V VM running Linux can setup the tape
drive as an iSCSI target. Either way, the drive can be accessed via
iSCSI so that only a single SD is needed.

I think you must install a second
Storage Daemon in the second server and make the
copy/migrate jobs through Bacula, not moving the
files 'manually'. You could find the info into
Bacula Docs.
Yes, it's possible recover data
with only the Volume, you must use the bscan
utility from Bacula to recreate the Catalog.
I would use a minimum of two
months Retention period for recovery the data
easily from local Disk (if the disk space is not
critical) and use Tape Storage (on second server)
only for 'archive' purposes.
All the info into Bacula Docs
!
Sorry for my rusty english...

Hi All,
I plan to use
bacula to back up Windows machines, a mix of
Server 2003 and Server 2008. My plan is as
follows:
1 – run the
grandfather, father, son rotation scheme. I
will have a full backup at the start of the
month, then incremental every day, diffs on
a Saturday
2 – Once the
month is over, I will copy the full backup
volumes onto a tape drive machine to be
written to tape (not using bacula to write
to tape, but a separate machine which I have
connected to a tape drive) The reason for
not connecting the tape drive directly to
the bacula machine is because I have run out
of card slots so I will copy the volumes
over to another machine and write to tape
from there
My question
is, which data exactly must I move to the
machine connected to the tape drive to write
to tape. Will just the volume be enough or
must I also dump the catalog and copy the
sql file over and write both to tape.
Is it possible
to restore data from a full backup without
the catalog/config files/bsr. Just the
volume.
Also I am
confused about retention periods. I want to
only keep data for 1 month (over 1 month
will be written to tape). Should my File
retention be 31 days and the Job retention
be the same?
Thanks in
advance!
Regards
WaqarK
