Disk-to-Disk-to-Disk for Offsite Storage

[jared_]

We are backing up a remote agent W2K3 server to a NAS device running W2K3 Storage Server running BE 10.
Incrementals run M-Th, full on F total less than 30gb.

B2D rotation works great, but then we need the backups copied to an external 250gb USB drive 10am daily to take offsite every night.

What is a good strategy to accoumplish this?
I am trying to sort through using a scheduled Duplicate Backup Set job, but can't figure it out.


Thanks in advance!

With respect to configuring Disk-to-Tape backups follow these technotes.


You can create a job to duplicate backup data, selecting either to duplicate existing backup sets or to duplicate backup sets immediately following a scheduled job.
1) If you select to duplicate existing backup sets, the backup sets you select from catalogs are read from the source media and written to the selected destination, such as a drive, drive pool, or backup folder. You can schedule when this type of job runs.
2) If you select to duplicate backup sets following a job, you select a scheduled backup job as the source. That backup job runs first, and then the backup sets it created are copied to the destination you selected for the duplicate job. To duplicate backup sets following a job, the backup job must be scheduled to run and must not be associated with any other duplicate jobs. You cannot schedule this job; instead, the duplicate job runs only after the related, or linked, backup job completes.
