Yeah I've been reading up on the developer documentation for bacula and it
seems that volumes written in a bacula-specific format.
http://bacula.org/developers/Overall_Storage_Format.html covers this. Back
to the original post, yes, Joe is correct in that I'm talking about backing

Yeah, the original post was about creating (full?) backups directly
as images. Ie. instead of a bacula volume the volume would be an ISO
file that he could then burn.
What I was asking is if there is any way to mount a bacula volume
that was written to disk. The entire thing is one big file
Using a loopback would work fine for a read/write filesystem. I do that
all the time.
Maybe I read too much into it, but
if I understood the original poster, he was looking for mounting a loop
device/file, writing to it to create a file in ISO format that could be
burned as-is into a useable CD o
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1k count=1 seek=`expr 1024 \* 4096` of=image.bin
As root:
losetup /dev/loop7 image.bin
Then you can access that as a drive (partition with fdisk, etc). I'm not sure
of the specifics of mounting, etc, but googling for loopback should get you
going.

This is sort like something I was thinking about. It would pretty
much kick ass if I could mount -t bacula /path/to/fullbackup. As in a
Linux file system driver or something for bacula volumes.

I'm wondering how to associate Volumes with Jobs. It doesn't seem
clear to me how I say "Use this Volume for this Job". I'm currently
backing up multiple workstations and I'd like each workstation to
have it's own Volume (using FileStorage).
How does bacula figure out which Volume to use? I

Ok, using the ide-tape driver isn't an option as it seems.
But i'm still interessted in using the ide-scsi driver. Wether it is
reliable enough for a working bacula environment or not, i can only
figure out, when i get the drive running. I don't have much critical
data, so a failing job won't do mu
