Using a File storage and copying those manually or by script to DVD is the 
official Bacula staff solution. But I don't like it.

I suggest you download 2.0.2 from Sourceforge and use that. Backup & Restore 
both works with it, but I have no idea about Recycle. I have 100 DVD+RW discs, 
and I'm now writing to #30. Takes some time until all 100 is full...

I used to use a DAT tape, but as it died, I had to go with a lot cheaper DVD. 
And then I downgraded from latest version to the 2.0.2.
