Re: [Bacula-users] using usb disk for daily off site backups with vchanger
I backup to USB disk each day. I have a final job (priority 40, less than everything else) that executes a pre-job-script (whatever). I can share the script with you tomorrow. My fulls are now 2TB+ and run on the first Saturday of each month. I have moved to 4TB USB drives (room to grow).
