Yeah, the original post was about creating (full?) backups directly
as images. Ie. instead of a bacula volume the volume would be an ISO
file that he could then burn.
What I was asking is if there is any way to mount a bacula volume
that was written to disk. The entire thing is one big file. If it's
an ISO, then yeah I can mount it on loopback, if it's some
proprietary bacula thing then I'd either need baculavolume2iso or an
fs driver that would let me mount my bacula volumes.

Maybe I read too much into it, but
if I understood the original poster, he was looking for mounting a
loop
device/file, writing to it to create a file in ISO format that
could be
burned as-is into a useable CD or DVD.
This is where I think there would be a problem. I doubt you can
expect a
useable ISO image after regular reads/writes/copy to and from the loop
back image file.
Boy, would I like to be wrong on this... I'd love to be able to do it.

What about using a loopback?

I know that there has been a lot of work on backup to DVD, though I
haven't looked very closely at it before. It has recently occurred
to me that I
might like to backup some of my data to dvd, but I don't know if I
want to
purchase another dvd writer for my storage machine. If it isn't
already
possible, may I request a feature addition with which CD/DVD
backups can be
performed but instead of writing to CD or DVD only an ISO image is
made
which can be burned later or on another machine?
Thanks,
