I'm not familiar with Bacula, so I can't comment or compare it.

I use AFS 'backup' to write volume set files to a central server with SAN disk attached. We hold them on disk for one semester, then move them to a tape library for two years. That scheme provides quick restores of current data, and long term restores within 24 hour notice.

The server needs a standard AFS client, and some scripting, to do the backup. One reason to consider using native AFS backup is to preserve the volume ACLs. I would check to see if Bacula can preserve this, or whether it really matters to you. We currently store 1.1 TB of bu data per semester.

We are currently switching to openafs but are concerned about how to backup our data. Our current setup uses bacula to backup all our data to a central server which stores incrementals/differentials and full backups for up to 2 months.

We would like to continue using it when all our users(Over 4000) have been moved to openafs.

Any ideas?
