I use this little script thingy to make my backups:
# General Backup script.
case "$1" in
paul)
# blank cd
/usr/bin/cdrecord -v -eject -pad speed=8 dev=0,0,0 blank=fast
# backup
/usr/bin/mkisofs -graft-points -f -R -r -l -J pback/=/big/pback/
stuff/=/big/stuff/ scripts/=/usr/scripts/ mailnow/=/home/paul/sylmail/ |
/usr/bin/cdrecord driveropts=burnfree -v -pad speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -
;;
download)
# blank cd
/usr/bin/cdrecord -v -eject -pad speed=8 dev=0,0,0 blank=fast
# backup DOWNLOAD dir
/usr/bin/mkisofs -graft-points -f -R -r -l -J download/=/big/download/ |
/usr/bin/cdrecord driveropts=burnfree -v -pad speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -
;;
*) echo Only options: paul or download
esac
#end of script
I call it cdbackup and run either "cdbackup paul" or "cdbackup download"
In the mkisofs part I point out the dirs I want to backup and the
directories on the CD that I want them in:
<dir on cd>/=/dir/on/disk
and I pipe the output to cdrecord.
You may need to change the device for the CD in your system. I use
rewritable CD's, that is why the "blank cd" part is in there also.
greets
Paul
