R> Wes, what media are you using RW?
Yeah, +RW.
R> Do you have Bacula set to write more than 1 job to a media.
Yes. With everything I'm backing up on the machine in question (all
other devices back up to the main machines disk, but that machine backs
up it's files to it's DVD) I put in one disk about every 5 days or so
(unless I take a whole lot of pictures).
It often writes about 20-ish parts to the disk.
R> What limits if any as far as Max Volume Size are you using?
I don't have a mx volume size at all. I have max part sizes of 800M.
SD settings:
Device {
Name = "DVDStorage"
Media Type = DVD
Archive Device = /dev/dvd1
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 = /big/bacula/dvd;
MountCommand = "/usr/bin/sudo /bin/mount -t iso9660 -o ro %a %m";
UnmountCommand = "/usr/bin/sudo /bin/umount %m";
SpoolDirectory = "/big/bacula/bacula-dvd-spool";
WritePartCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a write %e %v"
FreeSpaceCommand = "/etc/bacula/dvd-handler %a free"
Device Type = DVD
}
and Dir settings:
Storage {
Name = DVD
Address = XXXX # N.B. Use a fully qualified name here
SDPort = 9103
Password = "Ha"
Device = DVDStorage
Media Type = DVD
}
Pool {
Name = DVDPool2
LabelFormat = "BaculaDVDTwo"
Pool Type = Backup
Recycle = yes # Bacula can automatically recycle Volumes
AutoPrune = yes # Prune expired volumes
Volume Retention = 61 days
Storage = DVD
# Maximum Volume Bytes = #
}
So as you can see, nothing fancy and it's working.
I did have issues even burning RO disks on that particular (cheap)
drive. So I generally never considered it for backups. It would only
burn one successfully on each boot.
