I could back everything up to hard drive, and then for my monthly archives copy the data to DVD+-R. The only problem I see is recovering the data would seem to require copying it all back to the hard drive first.
Only, I was wondering. Would there be a way to copy a backup volume to another media and have Bacula recognize it? One problem here is the fact that I'd have to copy one hard disc to multiple DVDs. Can I partition the hard drive to 4.3g partitions, mount and label them separately, add them to a pool, and have Bacula span them automatically? Is there then a way to copy them to DVD media such that Bacula would recognize them as the same volumes? Buying hard drives for the daily/weekly backups is OK, but I'd still like to archive to cheaper media. That 5x price differential is too darned attractive to give up without a fight.
