[Bacula-users] Suggestions of backups

Hi people:

I'd like to get some suggestions from you about the best way to deal
with my backups managed with Bacula:

I'm running Bacula 3.0.2 with a unique Volume as a file disk, all
backups are stored under some directory in a huge file (now is about
400 GB of size). I have this configuration because I don't have any
tape device. But my Bacula box has 6 SATA disks configured with
software RAID 1 having a total Logical Volume of 1.5 TB.

I'd like to have only mensual copies of data burned on DVDs... but my
current Volume is about 400 GB. My question is:

How could I burn on DVD only the most important 4 GB data of the
month? I was thinking about burn some Full Backups to some DVDs and
some incremental backups to other ones, but I don't know how to
instruct bacula to burn to a DVD just specific jobs. I even tought
restoring specific Jobs to some directories then make an ISO image of
them and finally burn them... is this fine?

It's the first time I have a Bacula on production so my experience
with managing backups isn't so good. Does anybody here has a File Disk
Volume as me? How do you deal with backups stored in external storage
(DVD, External Hard Disks, etc)?

I would appreciate some ideas to get started with an appropiate
procedure of storing backups.

Thanks
