Thanks for the info Roger. It looks like for the time being my only choice is to go with my other option which was to buy another 32TB raid array and LVM across it. Then store 2 months worth of backups on disk and do a copy job to tape.
I really hope Bareos eventually gets DeDupe capabilities. As we are currently using another (very expensive) commercial backup product which has DeDupe which is amazing for backup speed improvements and the sheer number of backups I can store on that 20TB disk. (We are currently using this for VMBackups and nothing else). The two things stopping me from not renewing the other commercial backup product and becoming a bareos sub customer is lack of VMWare plugin and no dedupe. But based on bareos latest announcements Vmware is just about to be introduced. Also we just renewed maintenance on the other product so its at least 12 months before that comes up for renew. I know Bacula has these features, but I am not using them as in my opinion bareos are providing much better support even for the free version, and by providing repo's and binary packages, it makes my life as a sysadmin a 100 times easier than trying to maintain Bacula.
