data center then replicate that in the background to another unit at an offsite location. Even if you use tapes for offsite you can backup everything to the dedupe units first then copy to tape from there. In NetBackup they call that duplication from one
storage unit to another, Vaulting. One of my original questions in this thread was asking if Bacula or other OSS solution had something like this Vaulting.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p>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.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have bacula setup on ~10 clients with daily incremental, weekly differential, and monthly full backups implemented. 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...<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The lesson is that restoring files via rdiff-backup actually works quite<br>
well. I'm very happy the restore was relatively painless.<br>
