Tnx!
I'll take a look at that one.
Actually you mention something interesting: I hadn't checked out the
interface type. Do you know if DVD rewriters would typically be SCSI or ATA?
I will use an Adaptec 2200S U320 RAID controller for the harddrives, so
perhaps an ATA interface would be easier to configure indepenently of
another SCSI device (then again: maybe not). Any advice in that respect?

My understanding is that any burner will show up and give you a block
device, rather it's the authoring software that has the burden to
recognize the burner for what it really is, and make full use of it.
That said, what authoring software are you intending to use? I've had
lots of luck in the past using K3B. Are you going old sk00l and using
mkisofs? ;)
It'll be the first time I'll be using a DVD burner under FreeBSD, so I
still do not know which software best to use. The intended use for it is
to have my (cron scheduled) back-up script write the back-up to DVD
periodically (as well as being able to do this manually). I do not
intend to put KDE/Gnome on the machine, so as far as I'm concerned no
fancy interfaces are required. In fact: I'd rather have a text based
interface, e.g. like sysinstall.
Can someone perhaps let me know what most closely matches such an interface?
Tnx and cheers,
Olafo
