I do use DVD+RW to back up important parts of my server (and it uses a
disk cache for anything "not on it"). I've learned a few things during
using this process.
For one thing, the default dvd-handler doesn't turn on the -dvd-compat
flag which was causing me problems with a part not getting written and
then later readable. I'm not entirely sure what it does, but I turned
it on a week or two ago and suddenly my backups are much more reliable.
(I've been meaning to post here with the experience, but I was waiting
to make sure it made a difference. I'm positive it has at this point
though I don't feel comfortable yet it's completely solved it)
In dvd-handler line 112 add the flag to the list of default flags:
self.growparams = " -dvd-compat -A 'Bacula Data' -input-charset=default -i
so-level 3 -pad " + \
"-p 'dvd-handler / growisofs' -sysid 'BACULADATA' -R"
