Hello!
I have googled, doc me, and search everywere, but found no solution to my
problem (if someone can post a howto, it would we best)
No howto, unfortunately.
You found that DVD (or, in your case, CD) writing is not really working
reliably now.
I have posted some information from my setup with which I managed to get
some backups done, you probably already found it in the list archive.
In fact, I suppose that, to get DVD writing working, some work is still
necessary. I'm not a programmer, and, frankly, I'm not that much
interested in using DVD as backup media that I will put much work into
that problem in the next time.
If you think you can handle the python code, I suppose you might find
others willing to help. I'm sure that you would receive lots of help
from this list, from bacula-devel, from Kern, and from Nicolas who
started the DVD writing project but seems to have disappeared temporarily.
Sorry, no real help, but...

The problem is that bacula says:
24-Jan 17:20 di-ip61-sd: Job prueba-CD.2006-01-24_16.34.20 waiting. Cannot
find any appendable volumes.
Please use the "label" command to create a new Volume for:
Storage: "CD-Writer" (/dev/hdb)
Media type: CD
Pool: Default
and when I use label:
The defined Storage resources are:
1: File
2: di-ip61-sd
Select Storage resource (1-2): 2
Enter new Volume name: vol00
Automatically selected Pool: Default
Connecting to Storage daemon di-ip61-sd at di-ip61.inf.utfsm.cl:9103 ...
Sending label command for Volume "vol00" Slot 0 ...
3910 Unable to open device "CD-Writer" (/dev/hdb): ERR=There is no valid media
in the device "CD-Writer" (/dev/hdb).
Label command failed for Volume vol00.
Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
This is my config of the Storage Daemon... The Device Resource...
Device {
Name = "CD-Writer"
Media Type = "CD"
Archive Device = /dev/hdb
LabelMedia = no; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
MaximumPartSize = 175M;
RequiresMount = yes;
MountPoint = "/media/cdrecorder";
MountCommand = "/bin/mount -t iso9660 -o ro %a %m";
UnmountCommand = "/bin/umount %m";
SpoolDirectory = "/opt/bacula-sd";
WritePartCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a write %e %v"
FreeSpaceCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a free"
}
The job is quite a normal one, and the names of everything are ok. In fact,
with the proper modifications, I can backup to file in that storage server,
even restore them...
I've read in the docs that the dvd+rw-tools need a patch, I did it, but still
doesn't works.
I would appreciate some help, and corrections if i'm wrong.
PD: I use the dvd handler to write to CD-R because the description in the
manuel says it also works with CD-R
