All you really need do is somehow copy the disk volume files to another 
server, yes? The real advantage of rsync is that it reduces the 
transmission size when files have been altered by transmitting only the 
diff of the two files. In the case of Bacula volumes, the entire files 
have to be transmitted anyway, so why not use HTTPS over a VPN and 
require x509 certificate authentication, or better still, two-factor 
auth requiring both x509 cert and password. Then the files are simply 
download with a web browser and have your monitoring as well as a secure 
and very robust transport protocol.

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing 
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
