Hi,

I'm currently using bacula-3.0.3 (and some systems have 3.1.4) to backup a
bunch of Linux and Windows machines. These backups are local and everything
is working fantastically with that. 

However, I'd like to be able to backup the backup data offsite. Right now,
my storage pool is on a file volume located in /data/backup/. I'm trying to
figure out the best way to do this. My usual mechanism is to use rsync for
my offsite replication. But these files are quite large now. Just backing up
the file will be very costly, unless I can mount it and get access to the
contents. Then I can copy the diffs.

Is there a way to configure bacula to do a 2-stage backup? It seems like
running a bacula-sd on the cloud side would be the way to go. But I thought
I read somewhere that bacula couldn't use more than one SD at a time.
Perhaps I'm wrong.

To make matters more complicated, I'd love to be able to send the data over
an SSH tunnel if possible.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions on how to do this.

-Mike
