Hello Bacula-Users,

I'm currently setting up an offsite/longterm archive and I want to use
Copy Jobs to copy selected Jobs from my standard SD to an offsite SD and
to a Pool with a longer retention time. Fwiw, all of my storage is disks
and I'm running Bacula 7.4.3.

I did some basic tests and the Copy Jobs work just fine but I need to
solve the issue of concurrency as I don't want the Copy Jobs to
interfere with my normal Backup Jobs (and vice versa). With normal
backups I handle concurrency through multiple Storage Devices but I'm
unsure how to accomplish concurrency between Backup Jobs and Copy Jobs
that operate on the same Archive Device.

My best guess would be to configure copies of my current Storage Device
and Pool directives that use the same Archive Device (ie path on disk)
and then use the copy in the Pool Directive in the Copy Job. As I use
every Volume just once I can't see any major issues with this but it
really doesn't seem like the most elegant solution and so I'm looking
for opinions and further suggestions on how to run my Copy Jobs
independent of the Backup Jobs.

I'll gladly provide further information and config if needed !

Thanks,

Martin
