Yes, I am doing this on my home Linux workstation. I use a Samsung GSA-2164D dvdrecorder with a plain (no cartridge) DVD-RAM disk. I'm in the first stage of "try-and-see-what-happens" and I configured DVD-RAM device exactly like a usb removable drive, with its mount point `/mnt/dvdrecorder'. I should only make sure that disc is already mounted when I start the bacula job. But that is easily solvable with a RunBeforeJob directive (or it should be). I found the DVD-RAM media to be somewhat slow when writing full directory subtrees, but writing to a file like bacula does works smoothly... -- Cosimo ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
