I was wondering which parameters I should pass to growisofs in order to get a systembackup. My entire system doesn't fit on a single DVD anyway, so I need to do it in multiple passes. I was trying (as a test) to backup the /home directory and used this parameters: growisofs -Z /dev/cdrecorder -R -J /home
But the result was that on the disk there was no home directory, instead the usersdirectories were listed directly in the root of the DVD. i.E.: /mnt/cdrecorder/username instead of /mnt/cdrecorder/home/username Another issue is about the special direcotories. I don' t need a /tmp backup (I guess) but there should be an empty /proc and /dev/ to serve as the respective mountpoints. When I would specify /proc then I would get all entries on the DVD, right? Which is certainly not what I intend. And when I specify /dev what will be stored on the disk? The devicenodes or will it try to store the content (which would obviusly be nonsense). -- Gerhard Gruber Maintainer of SoftICE for Linux - http://sourceforge.net/projects/pice Fast application launcher - http://sourceforge.net/projects/launchmenu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
