Hello Waqar: in my vision you have simpler possibilities than emulating Bacula
Copy features in a nasty Windows Machine. E.g.: use your tape drive and a
BaculaSD within a Linux VM.

>> Hi All,
>> I plan to use bacula to back up Windows machines, a mix of Server 2003 and
>> Server 2008. My plan is as follows:
>> 1 – run the grandfather, father, son rotation scheme. I will have a full
>> backup
>> at the start of the month, then incremental every day, diffs on a Saturday
>> 2 – Once the month is over, I will copy the full backup volumes onto a tape
>> drive machine to be written to tape (not using bacula to write to tape, but a
>> separate machine which I have connected to a tape drive) The reason for not
>> connecting the tape drive directly to the bacula machine is because I have
>> run
>> out of card slots so I will copy the volumes over to another machine and
>> write
>> to tape from there
>> My question is, which data exactly must I move to the machine connected to
>> the
>> tape drive to write to tape. Will just the volume be enough or must I also
>> dump
>> the catalog and copy the sql file over and write both to tape.
>> Is it possible to restore data from a full backup without the catalog/config
>> files/bsr. Just the volume.
>> Also I am confused about retention periods. I want to only keep data for 1
>> month
>> (over 1 month will be written to tape). Should my File retention be 31 days
>> and
>> the Job retention be the same?
>> Thanks in advance!
