Hi, I’m currently working to setup Bareos in a multi-site redundant fashion. The plan is to basically follow a 3-2-1 strategy with
a) 3 copies of the data b) 2 different medias c) 1 offsite copy To accomplish this, I use 3 bareos storage engines a) File based on Site A (retention of 2 months) b) File based on Site B (retention of 2 months) c) LTO based on Site A (retention of 12 months) Replicating data between the File storages is pretty easy, I can use a “PoolUncopiedJobs” copy job. However, copying the jobs to LTO is a bit more complicate. With backups taken on Site A, I would have the following replication strategy with two copy jobs : File Site A —> File Site B File Site A —> LTO5 Site A Question 1 : If I lose File Site A, how do I know which copy Bareos will make active? Question 2 : Can I force a restore to use a particular copy (storage)? With backups taken on Site B, to reduce on bandwidth costs between sites, I would create sequential copy jobs and create the LTO copy from the initial copy : File Site B —> File Site A —> LTO5 Site A Question 3 : If I lose File Site A and File Site B, can Bareos promote a copy of a copy job?
