<p dir="ltr">My backup rig is in the same rack with the machines it backs up. Politics and network limitations prevent relocating it elsewhere. So a monthly extraction of full backup tapes to my office across campus is my solution. I use a specific set of LTO6 tapes just for fulls with a rolling set for incr and diffs.</p>

Bacula works great and any individual file or subdirectory can be restored on demand if needed. Anytime I've had to restore something, it just works. Once I got the main configuration template for one client working then the rest of the clients were pretty straightforward. So, I know backups and restores work. The problem we haven't dealt with yet and have plans to rectify is that the backup server is still in the same building as the clients being backed up...</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><font size="2">Sincerely,<br>Dow<br></font><font size="6"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:44.79999923706055px;background-color:rgb(249,249,249)">⚛</span></font><font size="2">Dow Hurst, Research Scientist<br> 340 Sullivan Science Bldg.</font><div><font size="2"> Dept. of Chem. and Biochem.<br> University of North Carolina at Greensboro<br> PO Box 26170 Greensboro, NC 27402-6170<br></font><br></div></div></div></div>
