To an "StorageBox" in hetzner.de. Could be gsync I guess, but not sure. I have used gsync for some CloneZilla images to Google but those files do not change daily. - -- ja...@iki.fi https://www.bitwell.biz - cost effective hosting and security for ecommerce -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlebbyoACgkQKL4IzOyjSrbX5gCgzKq4XzWl/INO/4tSaoKpS6kU GeAAoLNIcZIf9x4/5SH7IwUMr3O6UY/J =8NCj -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users

That seems a reasonable approach, although I don't know of anything like that. If something like rsync is used for the unmount copy, then it would not be necessary to mark it read-only. It is possible to define mounting and unmounting commands for a Device resource. At one time this was used for writing to DVD, etc. I'm not sure of the status of these directives in 7.4.x, but they do still exist. See http://www.bacula.org/7.4.x-manuals/en/main/Storage_Daemon_Configuratio.html#SECTION00194. It should be possible to use a bash script to rsync the volume files back and forth and use that as the "Mount Command" and "Unmount Command" for the Device resource. -- ___ Bacula-users mailing list Bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bacula-users
