Sharing an autoloader across multiple SD is not going to help me. 
I didn't think the VirtualFull would save me any space. 

Using the encryption built in to bacula will take far to long for the
number and size of my backups. Also the management overhead of the
encryption is so much for my limited time. 

The basic thing is I'm looking at using an offsite SD for DR backups.

You confirmed what I thought. Thanks.
