Hello Barry,
It is nice to hear this kind of enthousiasm and success !
Please when you get it going to your satisfaction, send us the details. I am
sure there a lot of users who would like to accomplish the same thing.
I'm still concerned about how Bacula is going to deal with directories and
volumes that "disappear". In any case, I have my two little 2GB USB devices,
and I am going to work over the next months on making Bacula understand what
a USB device is and to deal with it in a more reasonable way. To do this, I
think there are more than sufficient directives in the Device resource in the
SD, with one exception -- most likely I need to add a "Device Type = xxx"
directive which could have values such as "Tape, File, DVD, USB, FIFO, ..."
Bacula currently "guesses" at what the device type is, and in most cases, it
gets it right, but USB vs DVD is not so easy, and on FreeBSD there is no
distinction between character devices and block devices.
