Hi, > Note that you first need to think about snapshots anyway and snapshots > need disk space.
We discussed the snapshot topic a few years ago. If you remember, the result was that a snapshot can prevent some inconsistency mishaps but not all of them. Perfect inconsistency protection is only achieved by backing up from a filesystem where no filepointers are open for writing. E.g. by unmounting the filesystem or by shutting down the operating system and running the backup in single user mode. But this thread is about the possibility to write several large archive streams onto the same DVD-R without the need for buffering them and with the opportunity to eject and re-insert the media between two streams. Open-ended multi-session for DVD seems to match that quite well, don't you think ? Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
