nope .. i want the RECENT backup on tape

Now, that doesn't much change what I wrote about bacula not allowing
this. But I think your ideas could perhaps contribute to the migration
discussion...
Basically, what would be needed for something like this is a job copy
function and modifying the retention periods for the resulting jobs, I
think.

just to make sure ..
* i can't make bacula backup to HD ?
You can configure bacula to backup to HD.
* i can't copy the backup elsewhere bevore writing to tape and deleting
afterwards ?
You can, but not from inside bacula, you need to do some 'tricks'.
One solution would be to backup the volume files. That can be done by
bacula without external programs, but restore requires running restore
jobs twice, obviously.
The other solution would be to store the volume files to tape using tar,
dd or whatever program you prefer. In this case, you lose baculas
(excellent) volume management functions when you want to restore older
jobs - you've got to find the right tape yourself and copy the necessary
sections back to disk manually.
Arno
because one of the two things would effectively do what i need done
Without knowing your exact needs I'd guess that simply using bacula to
save to disk would help you a lot, you could manually move jobs to tape
and hope that baculas native migration capabilities become implemented
soon. Hint, hint :-)
