Hi all,
I work in a ICT company and we are looking to replace Amanda. I figured
Bacula would be te best solution, but we hit a snag.
A feature my boss feels is paramount to a back-up package is write the
data to disk, then to tape. Bacula does that in a way, but "data
spooling" does only that; spooling. I need it to write to disk, then
copy or migrate the data to tape. According to the documentation, that
is a feature planned for the future. Unfortunately, I need it now.
I've considered simply backing data up to disk volumes, then copy that
to tape by other means, but I'm puzzled how a restore would work in that
sort of situation.
Is there a workaround someone has successfully used in the field, on
production servers? Hating to have to reinvent a proverbial wheel, I
figured I'd ask the community. I really love Bacula and I would love to
use it in stead of giving Amanda a version bump and a fresh install on
our shiny new backup server.
So in short; I want backups on disk, then copy them to tape (with
Bacula, other backup software, commandline script, whatever). We run a
schedule much like the one explained in the manual ("a daily, weekly,
monthly tape usage example").
Thanks in advance!
