Hello,
I would like to start making periodic backups to CD. I know I can make a tarball, and then create an iso with just that tarball on it, and then burn that to a cd, but is there a better way?
I come from the Linux world, and I am only experimenting in FreeBSD since a while. In Linux, I am using my own script with "afio" , "cdrecord" (for CDs) and recently "growisofs" (for DVDs).
Everything is on the ports here so I think you will be able to setup them in freebsd without trouble.
If you need more info, I can send you my script (very simple, written in bash) so that you can use it and modify as you need.

Specifically, I have read the into to backups in the Handbook and it says that dump/restore is superior to tar, but it looks like dump was only intended for tape drives. Am I reading this right?
Thank You.
