As regular readers might recall, I have much of my system arranged as 5G partitions of that I can back up each partition onto a DVD. I use K3B.
I'm looking at doing selected, perhaps "incremental', backups. It is easy enough to select , for example, changed files using FIND. FIND produces a list, but K3B and the tools for making ISO images want files in a directory.
The best I can think of is to have a dummy directory that has symlinks to the files generated by FIND. It seems a bit of a kludge. I'm certainly not happy about the 'tree'.
Can the readership think of an alternative? Is there a .iso builder that takes a file list or input stream of file names?
not an iso builder but a space saving backup that provides the directory structure where one could easily create an iso. Look at backintime, is in openSUSE OSS builds. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
