Thank you for the response.
You correctly mention that it has to talk SCSI....it's an external USB drive and I don't know the internals of the drive.
Apart from that, I'm still waiting for an answer on a earlier question about database tables. Bacula hasn't run yet because there are no Bacula MySQL tables, and yes, MySQL runs fine with another database (24/7 actually).

Hi,

After reading the manuals of v.5 and 7, I doubt my USB DAT72/DDS tapedrive is supported. I used to work with Barracuda, but that license expired. So can anyone give me advise about this ?

Bacula doesn’t care about the make/model of your tape drive.  Bacula only cares that it talks SCSI.  If the OS supports it, Bacula supports it.. in general.

Have you tried it yet?  What’s stopping you?
