Hi Jon,
I write directly to the DVD. The DVD is formated with a UDF-File System.
Then you just mount it and can copy your files direct on the disk.
The DVD looks like a little Hard Disk for Amanda.
Ok, its not very fast, but i have time.
So Amanda dumps first at the holding disk, and then write to the dvd.

Hello folks
I use DVD-RAMs successfully with Amanda too, accessing them directly as
though they were tapes. The key is the
tapedev "file:/dvdram"
line in the configuration file, and NOT using any sort of tape changer.
Unlike Sebastian, I format the DVD-RAM disks as ext2 before using them.
cheers
Chris
