At this stage, I'm still not sure I have things set up correctly myself. I'm not quite clear with all knobs and buttons in Bacula. TSM is all coming from a file based - not job based. This means that things like retention are handled per file - not per job. I'm not exactly clear what will happen with a file that is still a system that is backed up and the retention time expires. Is that file backed up again on the next incremental? Does it not get backed up at all again? My current config does a Full backup once - then a nightly incremental. I'm not exactly sure that this will do what I want - but I can't find anything that says either way... Some of my backups are multi-Gb and are over a slow (5Mbit) link - as such, incrementals are good - and full backups take hours. I'm not convinced that Bacula handles this case well however - but I am yet unable to prove one way or another. The whole concept of removable media in Bacula makes sense for tapes, but does not translate well to removable disks. vchanger is a rather nasty hack - but (kinda) works. It would be much nicer to have bacula deal with removable disks directly - and not hacked in. In the TSM world, this was easily done by "vary offline /path/to/volume" and can easily be scripted. TSM then knows the volume isn't available and doesn't try to use it. During a restore, it will say "VOLUME <blah> required". I'm not sure if this would take much to implement in bacula - but it would be lightyears ahead of what is currently there....
