krw@ and I have done a lot of work this hackathon making SCSI tape and changer support work a lot better. This should translate into better backup software for all on OpenBSD. Most notably st(4) now opens properly, and ch(4) and chio(1) now have support for barcode readers. We'd like to continue more of this but have a need for different types of SCSI changers with media to do this as some of these devices are rather "different" — If you have something that you could give to a good home, please contact me.

Very cool.
What about a port for Bacula?

It's interesting that there was no OpenBSD port for Bacula, considering they were one of the sponsors of BSDCan.

all things considered it might not be that interesting.

You mean enabling the hardware support that is enabled by default hence it is called "hardware compression"? Yeah, that would be totally sweet.
