Hello all --
I have been reading more thoroughly on using Bacula to back up to optical
DVD. In Chapter 3 (page 22) of the current Bacula PDF guide, there is this
statement:
DVD media is not recommended for serious or important backups because of its
> low reliability.
>
I wonder how long ago this statement was written and if this still remains
true today (e.g., have there been improvements to DVD optical media over
time)? I wonder how current Bacula users who have decided to back up to
optical DVD media have found it to be in terms of reliability? Are there any
independent reliability studies around?
Besides the low reliability concern, are there any other reasons to avoid
using optical DVD with Bacula other than what has been written in Chapter 24
titled "DVD Volumes" of the current Bacula User's Guide?
Thank you!
