mkisofs + burncd for IDE, mkisofs + cdrecord for SCSI
read manuals or handbook for details.

backing up to cd

2002-11-21 Thread Jon Reynolds
What is the best way to backup to an atapi cdr? is it mkisofs or burncd
or cdrecord? I would like to be able to have this automated where I will
create a cron job that uses tar and gzip to compare the files in the
directory and if there is a change in the file it will make a new backup
then send it to be burned. 

But I am having a tough time trying to figure out which would be the
smoothest way to back it up and then recover the files from the cd. I
would like to be able to mount the cdrom and simply 'cp' the files to a
directory. Can anyone one tell me what they think would work best?
