Hi all. I was wondering if someone can point me in the direct of a simple script that I can use to make a nightly DVD backup of our data. Currently our data is about 4gb and fits onto one dvd. I have been manually backing up the data to another linux box but I would also like to make a nightly DVD-RW that rewrites the DVD which we can then store. We plan to store about 7 days worth of data and will reuse the DVDs. The data is stored in the /data directory of our OpenSuSE server. I have created a /backup directory and I plan to implement nightly tarballs of the data. If I have one file like: /backup/2/data.tar.gz - what command should I use to copy it to the DVD drive? Thanks in advance and regards from Denmark, Dan
