dont forget to read http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/Automated_Disk_Backup.html

It helped me alot. Especially how to make sure there are volumes that get recycled.

I am interested in configuring a backup platform that will only backup
to the server's internal hard drive (in this case a 2TB filesystem).
Are there any pointers/configuration guides out there for this?
        Just setup a file storage device in the Storage Daemon (bacula-sd.conf)

        Device {
          Name = FileStorage
          Media Type = File
          Archive Device = /path/to/backup/in
          ...
        }

This is something that I am in the process of setting up too. When you
define this Device, will Bacula (with the correct configuration) store
volumes in this location, i.e.:

#ls /mnt/backup
BackupVolume0001 BackupVolume0002 etc etc...

We are looking at using two external 100Gb USB HDDs as poor mans tapes
and swapping these HDDs each week (one goes off site.)

Thanks,
Greg
