Hi ,
Yes I only run disk based backups. I run one full backup monthly , with
differentials every second week and then incrementals weekly. My
offsites I use a straight 'cp -v --preserve=all' to copy those over to
an offsite disk of which I have 3 I rotate. The copying is quite a
lengthy process (creating dirs etc) , was wondering if won't be easier
to automate it with either a script or bacula.

I take it you do not have a tape library or a drive, so you are doing
backups to disk?
What do you WANT to have happen? What is your offsite procedure?
I have a 10 tape library and I run a full once a week and swap out those
full tapes on a weekly basis so I always have 4 weeks of full backups in the
library and a 5 week off site.
Are you trying to accomplish something like the above?

Subject: [Bacula-users] Some advise needed
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
