[bareos-users] Offsite Backup of Disk Based Storage

[Rick Sutphin]

I am using Bareos 17.2.4 running in a LXC container to backup workstations and servers for a small business. The backups are using file storage on a ZFS RAID1 stack.

I would like to implement offsite backups using 3 USB in rotation (1 onsite and 2 offsite). I want to leave the backups on the file storage and also make a copy that will be kept offsite via sneakernet.

I am using the standard WeeklyCycle schedule:

Schedule {
Name = "WeeklyCycle"
Run = Full 1st fri at 23:00 # (#04)
Run = Differential 2nd-5th fri at 23:00 # (#07)
Run = Incremental mon-fri at 23:00 # (#10)
}

I am currently researching implementing this using copy, or by creating 3 storage pools and creating backup jobs based on the rotation schedule of the USB hard drivers.

I would appreciate any advice on implementing this.

Thanks,
Rick

Rick,

Did you ever get this figured out with BareOS? I'm about to go down this very same road.
