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:
I use a perl script called "cddump"; it was written to do dump style backups to cd's. It spans multiple cds, prompts to insert new cd, and dosn't encrypt so you can pull out individual files. It dosn't have a "one step restore", you need to boot somehow, mount the cdrom, and start copying things back in. It is super easy to use however. To make a full backup of your system, including windows if /c is mounted: cddump 0 / then just watch it go. To make a bootable cd, with your kernel, modules, and system config, try Mkcdrec. It also does backups, but I found cddump easier. -- Politics is the entertainment branch of industry. -- General Zappa
