Dear Folks,
my Perl program at http://ictlab.tyict.vtc.edu.hk/ftp/tarball/make-path-lists.pl seems ready to use; I am now backing everything up using it. I still haven't finished; I'll let the list know when I have finished my complete backup and have tested it successfully.
I have one problem remaining that I hope someone could point me to the answer for:
When backing up many files, some of which I do not have read permission to access as my ordinary account, is the only way to access them to do something like su to root, then run growisofs?
It's just that I don't like using su, but if that's the only way, then I'll do it.
check out sudo. You can set it up so that a specific id can run a specific command as root. man sudo.
