General

This document describes the media format written by the Storage daemon. The Storage daemon reads and writes in units of blocks. Blocks contain records. Each block has a block header followed by records, and each record has a record header followed by record data.

This chapter is intended to be a technical discussion of the Media Format and as such is not targeted at end users but rather at developers and system administrators that want or need to know more of the working details of Bacula.
