I am running such backup. You just have to have another server where to send your bacula volumes for storage. you have couple options here
1. Encrypt Bacula volume(s) with GnuPG and transfer over the network. Just search Google for Bacula and GnuPG together. I wrote a guide on how to do it a while back. It should be one of the first hits. 2. Use latest beta of 1.39.xx It has public key encryption, you can transfer it over the network to your file server. It SHOULD work - but then again - it is still in beta, I would not use it in production until it is well tested. 3. Use SFTP client to transfer unencrypted bacula volume (may not be a very good idea, depending on the off-site server security, but at least the transfer itself will be protected.) 4. DO NOT SEND UNENCRYPTED PRIVATE DATA OFF-SITE. In my org it is punishable by death (or suicide whichever comes first) The problem may be in bandwidth. Transfer of 12Gb volume will take some time. Restoration will also take some time since you will have to transfer that 12 Gig volume back... Take into the account data growth when calculating transfer times. Good luck.
