Bacula 1.38.11 Dear list,
At first, my apologies for the length of this mail, I hope it will be read anyway. I am writing this eMail in hope of some help (as nearly everybode does ;-) ). Our pilot is about to come to his end and customer is planning to spread bacula systemwide. Before I finally can do that, I need to verify some things. To let you join my thoughts, here comes the current setup: Testmachine running SuSE and Bacula 1.38.11 (was the most actual at time of installation) and backing up some machines to HDD. Everything works fine (if it wouldn't, there won't be the "master" plan ;-) ). Every day, we do a tar to a single tape, containing the volumes of bacula, the let's call them "tape-girlies" change the tape every day. For the final arrangement, there will be (beside the server with big HDD-space) a tape-library. We do our tar to be able to react in case of big bang, e.g. server room gets on fire. So we can set up a new server, get our bacula-configs back, copy back the volumes from tape to hdd and use bscan to pump them back inside the DB and get our data back. Naturally, customer wants the same possibilities with the new (and let's say that not quite cheap) equipment. Long speech, sorry again. I guess here my questions start: I guess I can't use the library together with tar, so it would be time to let bacula operate the tapes. But how can I achieve the scenario mentioned above? Will "MigrateJob" be my guarding angel to bring the needed files to tape? As I said, tapes are to be changed every day and taken offsite into the safe. So what we need: We need a possibility to restore from tapes from the day before. It that achievable with Bacula and if "yes", how? How do ppl on this list use the libraries? I prefer harddrive-backup, no question, but IMHO one needs a solution, if server and/or harddrives cross river jordan. I am quite sure that I am not the only one thinking about and having this problem so please enlighten me :-) If my remarks are too confusing please be so kind and ask further. This is a quite wellknown customer here in germany and I guess I'd be able to share some experiences with a site like that.
