Hello all --
For those who are backing up to non-rewritable DVD optical media (such as
DVD-R and DVD+R), would anyone be willing to share examples of the Device
Resource example for such? The reason I ask is that while I have a Device
Resource for DVD+RW working fine, I have been unsuccessful thus far getting
Bacula to back up to a DVD+R disc (although I ran the growisofs and
dvd-handler script on a blank DVD+R disc dropped into my machine, and I was
successful in getting Bacula to write a label (as a "part 1" file) on to
DVD+R but nothing further). I also discovered that DVD+R discs should not be
de-iced before writing to them with Bacula via dvd-handler (well, at least
not manually as part of a separate process like DVD+RW discs can be). I was
hoping that the same Storage Daemon Device Resource used for DVD+RW could be
used for DVD+R discs but no such luck (in fact the directives such as
MaximumPartSize and WritePartCommand do not seem to make sense in the
context of a non-rewitable DVD optical disc since apparently DVD+R (or
DVD-R) are not multi-session capable, so how does one best use
non-rewritable optical media with Bacula? Is the best approach to in fact
use Volume Migration (write the Volume to hard drive first and then move it
in one fell swoop over to DVD+R or DVD-R)?
Thank you,
-H
