I'm a total newbe in tape backup.

I wonder which is the best practice to store the bsr files and where to backup the Catalog on a server with a single tape drive.

Would this be on the tape itself or somewhere on a HD / mount on the server?

If I backup the Catalog on the tape after each backup, how easy would be a restore?

Assuming you have archive drives which you will store for 10 years and afterwards you install a new backup server, will you be able to re-read these drives if the Catalog is directly on the tape or will this only be possible if you migrated all the database on the new server?

How do you manage this?

I thought on the following concept (please tell me what you think about that):

- for the database files, all bsr files and the Catalog Backup I tought to mount an external share, which will be easy to migrate from one to another bareos server.
- Tapes just for the volumes.


Thank you in advance for some hints.
Regards,
Birgit
