Thanks John can I use tar to backup to a memory stick as well. Maybe I must rather use a memory stick, what do you think? Henk On Di 22.08.2006 10:14, John Andersen <jsa@pen.homeip.net> wrote:

Hi again,
I need some kind of backup utility that backs up a file to CD - R. The file is about 5MB so I should be able to use the CD a couple of times. It will need to be a command line program because it will be called from another program (it should copy the file to cd and return the status of the command).
Thanks Henk
tar is your friend. CD-RW is better for this than CD-R.
