-path-list file A file containing a list of pathspec directories and filenames to be added to the ISO9660 filesystem. This list of pathspecs are processed .... So, a shell command like: cd /var/spool/news; ls >filelist; genisoimage -o img.iso -path-list filelist should do. BTW - if it is a backup, how about to compress files before burning them? A 'tar' command can also create multivolume archives, just in case...
