I didn't like Bacula last time I tried it, but if it will work well with
DVD media I might use it.

I got a client on FreeBSD already, so I need to build the server on my
Linux box (the one with the DVD burner).

Can't find a build for NetBSD 1.6.2, and I hate building things like
this on my ancient SS5.  But if it works... :)
