We do this, but to CD sized chunks.
This is the storage device definition in bacula-sd.conf
Device {
Name = Scratch
Media Type = "CDImage"
Archive Device = /scratch/bacula
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled
media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = no;
AlwaysOpen = no;
}
And here is the pool from bacula-dir.conf
Pool {
Name = CDFiles
Pool Type = Backup
Maximum Volume Bytes = 600m
Recycle = no # Bacula can automatically recycle
Volumes
AutoPrune = no # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 365 days # one year
Accept Any Volume = no # write on any volume in the pool
Label Format = "CD"
}
We have thought of doing DVD sized chunks and writing to DVD, but with
CDs we can use `parchive' to create parity volumes, meaning that we
have the ability to recover if a CD gets trashed. We don't produce
enough backlup volume to make enough DVDs to make that work.
I'm currently working on a cunning plan to duplicate the volumes from
disk onto a network attached device from where they can be easily
carried off site, making the regular CD burning task redundant.
