Hi -

I'm curious about using Bacula in a slightly different way than it was  
apparently intended. We have large directories of data that need to  
periodically be moved offline to tape. I've got a Scalar 100 with two  
LTO2 drives. I wouldn't be doing incremental/differential backups, or  
scheduled backups in any way. At first, I was using a shell script  
that wrapped around tar. Since my archives often need to span tapes  
and sometimes many tapes, it was becoming very difficult to manage. I  
think a solution like Bacula is *mostly* right for my needs, but my  
question is whether anyone on list has an installation similar to mine  
and can offer some management advice. How do you configure your jobs  
and schedules when it's just a bunch of one-off archives?

Best,
Ian
