Just simply use the tags between your commands (drop the space I have done
in the tag to be displayed on the page).
Thank you all for your answers.
Of course HKR,
There is still the possibility of using GPG very easily to encrypt files and
do a back up on a cd or dvd.
But when you have a whole folder filled with plenty of other folders or
files, all you want to do is simply enter once a password and easily find the
file you're looking for, or even open it from the software, just as you can
do on a USB key or external HD encrypted with Luks.
GPG is ok for single files. But a folder needs to be zip compressed then
encrypted with GPG.
That means you'll have to copy the zip file somewhere on you hard drive or
wherever and decompress it .
You can't use it for a whole DVD-R or even a CD-R because it's just too long.

Yes, I already knew Tomb.
But I'm surprised that Tomb is not in our repository. It sould be.
After reading the man pdf of Tomb wibsite, the « engrave » command makes
an image, but an image of the key that can be printed on paper and phisically
stored as backup
I'm not sure Tomb could really read a optical disc written from an .iso file
where a .tomb
This could be tested
I have tried to open the gencryptdvd script as described by Magic, but it
doesn't want to open.
I've placed the .sh in /home and used the Root Terminal to check if nothing
was wrong :
The ls command dispayed gencryptodvd-0.2.sh in green when I allowed the file
in the propetities to be used as a program.
I haven't any « awk » warning,
I only have a « command not found »
adding a ./ before gencryptodvd makes an unexisting file warning.
I precise sudo package is already installed on my laptop.
I don't know if any of you succeed to make the script run.
There can be an alternative with this

2 problems :
if you can find aespipe, you won't find loop-aes-utils, and mkisofs sould be
remplaced by xorriso.
I tried this step :
As recommanded by scdbackup I did a
xorriso -as mkisofs
but only got this answer :
xorriso 1.3.2 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
I started a
$ xorriso -r backup | aespipe -e aes256 > backup.iso
an got :
xorriso 1.3.2 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.
xorriso : FAILURE : Not a known command: '-r'
xorriso : FAILURE : Not a known command: 'backup'
xorriso : aborting : -abort_on 'FAILURE' encountered 'FAILURE'

Maybe the begining of an answer ?
