Actually, I haven't used BD's to make FreeBSD-compatible backups yet. They're intended to allow access on a Windows computer (as that is the working environment), and as such I haven't prioritized doing the BD backups directly on the FreeBSD server. I'll make sure to post something about it once I figure out how to do that.wblock@ said:That is something I have not tried. Does the normal DVD burning software available on FreeBSD like growisofs(1) and cdrecord(1) work to write BD disks?
Do you have an idea of what sort of actual data transfer rates it achieves?
One downside is that not every machine around can read one of those disks, unlike single-layer DVD. But the capacity is tempting.
