I am new to bacula, so may be doing something wrong. I would like to back up to DVD.
I did a test installation, and walked through the tutorial using the
file backup volume. Fine.
I then modified the setup as follows:
In bacula-dir.conf, I changed the storage device like so:
# Definition of file storage device
Storage {
Name = File
# Do not use "localhost" here
Address = charlesc # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "Lg/cqSfbUqp8F3or5KOWmD0L5Bfyg8IIOEvECtFg8u+l"
Device = DVD-Writer
Media Type = DVD
}
I also added enough data to the file set to force it to overflow the
temporary file, and force writing.
File = /home/ccurley/down/bacula/bacula-1.37.40
File = /home/ccurley/Photos
}
OK, I have lots of photos. :-)
I enabled a DVD device in bacula-sd.conf, and modified it like so:
#
# A DVD device
#
Device {
Name = "DVD-Writer"
Media Type = DVD
Archive Device = /dev/scd1
LabelMedia = yes; # lets Bacula label unlabeled media
Random Access = Yes;
AutomaticMount = yes; # when device opened, read it
RemovableMedia = yes;
AlwaysOpen = no;
MaximumPartSize = 800M;
RequiresMount = yes;
MountPoint = /media/cdrecorder/;
MountCommand = "/bin/mount -t iso9660 -o ro %a %m";
UnmountCommand = "/bin/umount %m";
SpoolDirectory = /tmp/backup;
WritePartCommand = "/home/ccurley/bacula/bin/bacula/dvd-writepart %e %a %v"
FreeSpaceCommand = "/home/ccurley/bacula/bin/bacula/dvd-freespace %a %e"
}
I then tried to run the job, and got the following results:

Do not forget to mount the drive!!!
--------------------------------------------------
Well, of course there's no valid medium in the device. Per the note
in http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/DVD_Volumes.html, "Bacula only
accepts to write to blank DVDs.", I had a freshly erased DVD in the
drive.
