If I understand correctly, what you're asking for is what some of us call
Job Migration. This has been in discussion on the -devel mailing list for
some time now, and plans to implement it are in the works. While it is true
that you could backup to disk and then backup those volumes to tape with a
separate Job, one of our goals with Job Migration is to facilitate exactly
this kind of off-site copying you describe. Currently, the implementation
of this functionality is still in the design stage, but it is planned.
This (as well as multiple spoolfile support) has been mentioned a few times
recently on the -users list. Perhaps someone could add some sort of note to
the development manual which would inform users that it's planned for
implementation? Kern?
Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [Bacula-users] staging to disk?
I am not asking whether staging to disk is possible, I got the
answer from the docs. But what I am trying to find out is if anybody has
tried to achieve something similar. Well bacula can write to disk and then
of course write to tape. Currently all my data is written to disk actually
on a SAN. But I'd like to make an offsite backup on tape of the data that is
stored on that SAN. The easiest way seems to be to create another job to
write the data on disk to tape essentially achieving the ultimate goal.
What I want to find out is whether any body has implemented any
novel solutions other than that.
