I recommend 1 over 2. In fact, I would recommend replacing 2 altogether with 2. Rsync disk volumes and text dump of catalog over SSH to the remote location The advantage of having an SD at the remote site is that it makes possible writing Copy jobs of the incremental jobs to the remote site and writing Virtual Full jobs to the remote SD. The remote SD is "initialized" by hand delivery of Full jobs media. This drastically reduces bandwidth requirements, since only incremental jobs need ever be transmitted. Since the communications can be TLS encrypted, I consider the Bacula communications to be as secure as any other TLS encrypted service. The "safest way possible" is a subject of much debate. I have a client who hand carries encrypted tapes to a bank safe deposit box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
