Hi All ,

I've been using bacula for a while now , and need to do a harddrive (SATA) upgrade (or shall I say bluntly I'm running out of disk space!).My problem is , I only have a 2U server (4 300GB SATA in RAID 5 array) , and 2 trays for my offsite disks.So , to briefly explain my setup (and please tell me where I need to specify more):

2U Intel Server with SATA RAID controller
OS - Fedora Core 3 , resides on the RAID 5 array , 4 300GB Seagates (not sure if it's the safest bet)
Bacula version - Version: 1.38.0 (28 October 2005)

For the offsites (and once again probably not the best way , any suggestions?) , I pop in the disk , mount it and then copy over the previous nights volumes. This however I've seen is quite tedious , and could possibly get confusing and difficult to manage. Would it be possible to rather setup a USB/Firewire disk , with a mount point for offsites and let bacula then backup the volumes?

OK , so basically I need some advise on how to move forward with either this setup , or rethink my strategy. Also I must add I'm not an expert at this and it's basically been given to me to sort out.

TIA

Daniel
