Davin,
The DVD writing code in bacula proved to be both unreliable and
unmaintainable, has been deprecated in the last several major
releases,
and is planned to be removed shortly. The currently recommended
method
of backing up to DVD with bacula is to back up to DVD-sized (4.7GB,
or
8.5GB for dual-layer) disk volumes, then burn the volumes to DVD as
a
separate operation using external CD burning software.
