Can Bacula write directly to 3590 tape drives?
Yes. And now that the 3590 driver has been open-sourced, it can do it on whichever distro or kernel level you're running.
I'd hate to have to restore an entire LVM pool to retrieve 1 file. Do you have a link to Bacula handy?
http://www.bacula.org A rather backdated Bacula is in Debian Sarge; a recent one is nearly ready to enter Debian testing (it's under semi-private test by the bacula-devel mailing list before the maintainer puts it into the main Debian repository; we're using it). SNA has also done some work to replace Bacula's tape changer with a little network app that talks to your VM (could be z/OS, for a bit of development work) system and has *it* drive the ATL (which Linux doesn't understand). Bacula, thanks to David Boyes, also understands ANSI and IBM tape label formats, so your Bacula system can play nicely with your other tape-aware applications.
