Can Bacula Backup My System To Files instead of Tape?
Yes, in principle, Bacula can backup to any storage medium as long as you have correctly defined that medium in the Storage daemon’s Device resource. For an example of how to backup to files, please see the Pruning Example in the Recycling chapter of this manual. Also, there is a whole chapter devoted to Basic Volume Management. This chapter was originally written to explain how to write to disk, but was expanded to include volume management. It is, however, still quite a good chapter to read.
