Mailinglist Archive: packet-writing (55 mails)

[Leo Przybylski <leop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I believe packet-writing is possible on DVD+R/W, but to my
understanding, packet-writing with UDF limits the amount of data you can
backup significantly. For example, 700MB cd becomes 576MB. 

If you are just trying to backup, you can do this with UDF by creating a
UDF fs on your system and then writing it to the DVD+R with cdrecord
just as you would an iso. I think you would also use dvdrecord.
