Removable Backup to Disk; 3rd Party Format Software for Windows Server

dporter
Level 2
I need to run a Removable Backup to Disk job on a Windows 2003 server to a blu-ray disk. Any suggestions on what type of software I can use to format the blu ray disks? I am using a Buffalo Media Station External BR writer. The software that comes with it will not run on Server. Thanks.

So as to not mislead other customers I have removed an earlier comment by myself which was wrong. Unfortunately this removed the reply from the original poster as well.

For info the best practices for removable b2d folders document (supplied by the original poster)
http://support.veritas.com/docs/239539

does indicate CD and DVD platters are supported (as does the admin guide for BE 2010) although Blue Ray itself is not mentioned.

So this leaves the original poster needing some software that allows realtime file system access to the platter.

It might be worth finding a hardware forum relating to blue-ray drives to post the same question on.

I did some checking - and althoguh I can't really recommend some specific software - would sugges you do some searches for Blue Ray Packet Writer Software as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Packet_writing
