Hi All,

I've recently implemented Bacula as the storage agent for 14 Debian Sarge servers writing to disk and 1 server writing to tape. Great. What I now need to do is use Bacula to create a DVD image for me. Ideally what I'm looking for is the option or ability to use Bacula as the transfer medium. I have the bacula-fd installed on the client server and want to pull across to the bacula-sd the various files/directories I want. Once there I want to write those files to DVD. BUT, I don't want to write them as the bacula volume format but as the standard file format they exist in. The idea being that in the event of a serious fault you simply want to insert the DVD into a machine somewhere and then copy the files to the appropriate locations.

Sadly I'm at a loss as to how to do this. I've looked at the Pool options and it states;

   Backup
   *Archive
   *Cloned
   *Migration
   *Copy
   *Save

With no reference to what the "*" means nor any details about what these other 
modes mean. I was hoping that the 'Save' option means that the data is quite clearly 
saved to the destination indicated by the bacula-sd but can't find any info either way.

I know I could do this by simply tarring up the correct directories and then 
writing them to disk but then I lose all the options that bacula gives me.

Any help at this point would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gavin Conway*
