i am thinking of getting a CR-Recorder to do backups
Can this be run from the Konsole Command Line to tar & gzip directories to be written to CD, &, if I back up the whole system, will i be told when to put in a new CD ?
never having used a CD recorder, I would appreciate any hints & help
You might want to check out MONDO at: http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/ " What is MONDO? Mondo is reliable. It backs up your GNU/Linux server or workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW or NFS partition. In the event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore all of your data [or as much as you want], from bare metal if necessary. Mondo is in regular use by Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP (US and France), IBM, NASA's JPL, dozens of smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users. Mondo is comprehensive. Mondo supports LVM, RAID and almost any filesystem you can name. It supports adjustments in disk geometry, including migration from non-RAID to RAID. Mondo runs on all major Linux distributions and is getting better all the time. You may even backup non-Linux partitions. Mondo is free. It has been published under the GPL (GNU Public License), partly to expose it to thousands of potential beta-testers but mostly as a contribution to the Linux community. I fund its development by charging for technical support."
