Here is what I did, after this configuration you can run a full backup
(changing to the storage and pool defined below)
Afterwards I can burn the files using f.ex k3b

We have Rimage machines with four dvd writers and silkscreen
printers. I have considered using them for this task. More for a
monthly offsite archive than for daily backups.

Forever is relative. DVD R/RW and CD R/RW are both fragile media if not

Hi Richard,
thanks for your comments.
I edited the corresponding line in /usr/lib/bacula/dvd-handler.
Unforutnately it didn't make a difference. On the other hand I could NOT
see that the disc was actually being ejected after the first part.
Should the tray have opened?
Maybe I need to edit so

Hi,
I'll add some comments here I cannot guarantee that they all apply to
2.4.x because I'm still using 2.2.x and haven't been tracking
development that closely for well over a year. That said I did have DVD
writing working and many of the errors that you report do look familiar.

Hi John, hi everyone!
I think I am getting closer to get DVD-burning to work. I would really
love to use this feature and I would be glad to help fix it.
I just checked, I had dvd+rw-tools-7.0-0.el5.3.rpm installed. As this is
is <7.04 I uninstalled the rpm and compiled / installed from this
" I could have bought a hard disk with much more capacity then the
discs provide, but..."
it´s great to have backups "forever" - if some of my costumer ask for
a file from one or two years
ago, i can say - ok, let me have a look, maybe it is possible.

I read that version 2.0.2 is running fine for DVD Backups.
I tried with 2.4 and 2.2.8 both are buggy.
