Note that raw volume (without catalog) can be used to re-create catalogs entries but this a time consumming process, that make your backups less (quickly) usable.



Is it possible to restore if i do like that... As I said aboce, not directly, you need to first recover the catalog.

And what if i run a job that backups this folder path (means backups
the whole NAS) to tape .. in this case all these Bacula volumes
going to be stored inside another large Bacula volume in tape.. is
that make any sense.. Is it possible to restore in this case..?? I think this is a generally a bad idea, unless you use it in disaster situation only.

pls can anyone help me?

Hi Rushdhi.

Take a look at "Copy Jobs." That is the correct Bacula way of copying
backup jobs from one media such as the file volumes on the NAS to another
media such as removable tapes for off-site archiving.

Hi Rushdhi.

Take a look at "Copy Jobs."    That is the correct Bacula way of copying
backup jobs from one media such as the file volumes on the NAS to another
media such as removable tapes for off-site archiving.

In my own opinion, Copy Jobs is nice for Archiving or to make a copy
to a différent pool or storage type.
Here you want to copy from disk to tape so simply run a bacula Copy job.

In another case if you are looking for redundancy just run a tape copy
to another tape or a rsync of your volumes on another hard drive
