Hello List,

i would like to back up my files to DVD-RAM.
I simply format my DVD-RAM with: mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdd and then i should be
able to use it.

Here is my "broken" config file:


Device {
  Name = DVD-Storage;           # name of device
  Media Type =DVD-RAM;          # type of device
  Archive Device = /dev/hdd;    # device to mount
  LabelMedia = yes;             # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
  Random Access = Yes;
  AutomaticMount = yes;         # when device opened, read it
  RemovableMedia = yes;         # since its DVD-RAM, its removeable
  AlwaysOpen = no;              # always mount/umount
  #Mount Point = /media/cdrom0; # mount Archive device to /media/cdrom0
}


The Error:
------------
30-Dec 14:40 rt-sd: Client1.2005-12-30_14.40.05 Fatal error:
     Archive "DVD-Storage" requested by DIR could not be opened or does
not exist.
30-Dec 14:40 rt-dir: Client1.2005-12-30_14.40.05 Fatal error:
     Storage daemon didn't accept Device "DVD-Storage" because:
     3925 Device "DVD-Storage" could not be opened or does not exist.


I read the DVD-writing manual, but i think DVD-RAM ist just like a hard
drive really. No need to run any pre or after jobs.

What i am missing in my Device declaration is how bacula knows where to
mount the archive device to, in order to actually write to it.
I am not surprised that bacula gives me that error, but i dont know how
to solve it.

Any ideas/tips?
Thanks, Mario
