Hello, I've been reading the support documentation for bacula with regard to backing up to DVD media. ( http://www.bacula.org/dev-manual/System_Requirements.html )
In the "System Requirements" section, the last bullet point says : If you want to use DVD as backup medium, you will need to download the dvd+rw-tools 5.21.4.10.8, apply the patch to make these tools compatible with Bacula, then compile and install them. Do not use the dvd+rw-tools provided by your distribution, they will not work with Bacula. My questions are: 1. There is a specific version of the dvd+rw-tools software listed here. Does this mean that this spefific version, and only this version; is required for bacula to be able to do backups to DVD? I run Gentoo Linux on the system I want to run bacula on, and it lists the current version of the dvd+rw-tools package as version 7.0. Do I need to un-install version 7.0 of the dvd+rw-tools package and go get version 5.21.4.10.8 in order for bacula to function? 2. In this same paragraph, the word "patch" is a hyperlink to: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/bacula/bacula/patches/dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8.bacula.patch However, this link is broken. If this patch is still required, where is the correct place to get it? -- -Monte ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
