If you know any, please share your findings. OTOH, if you want to use tar format to store bacula volumes on tape then it would be better if you save bacula volumes directly on tape as Bacula Storage Daemon handles tape backup perfectly. > I can’t imagine the process of Tar/Untar would cause the backup volumes to > become incompatible with Bacula, but I wanted to double check with someone > more knowledgeable. > Packing bacula volumes into tar file is, IMHO insane and a person doing this should read again what bacula is and how to use it.

Bacula volume format is in simple words "a better tar" as it could effectively store not only files but many others objects for backup. best regards -- Radosław Korzeniewski rados...@korzeniewski.net
