at the moment I'm building the config for 2 servers. One should be

Additionally I'd like to keep one full backup of each month for one
year in a safe offside the office.

Schedule {
Name = "BangWeeklyCycle"
Run = Full sat at 19:30
Run = Incremental mon-fri at 18:45

Now, I've still some questions.
* should I use two separate pools for the full/inc. backups? This
would mean that I need more tapes, but this my have other
advantages.
Well, I would do it as the incremental backups will (typically) expire
before the full ones, so you don't have to store tapes with "holes" on
them. Might save some tapes in the long run.
Searched the list an found something similar. I thinks this would fit
my needs - if I create the BangArchive pool as type archive. But this
option is marked as not yet implemented in the manual.
Never tried this. But I guess that Bacula currently simply ignores pools
marked as archive, and then this wouldn't help you.
Run = Level=Full Pool=BangArchive 1st sat at 19:30
Run = Level=Full Pool=BangWeekly 2nd-5th sat at 19:30
Run = Level=Incremental Pool=BangWeekly mon-fri at 18:45
I tried to change the state of a tape to archive with bconsole
(update), which might be an alternative instead of 2 different pools
for the full backups.
This seems to have worked. At least 'list volumes' shows the achive
flag. Now I'm a bit confused, because this is marked as not
implemented too.
Well, the status can be set, but neither does Bacula that automatically
depending on your setup, nor does Bacula do anything useful with these
volumes - they simply exist in the catalog, and are never considered for
writing. I don't know if they are pruned, though.
Anyway, setting them to status "Archive" either manually or using a
script should do what you need - it marks them as unavailable for
Bacula, and you can easily track them in the catalog.
