| hmm how did you burn your cd's (which software, options, etc...did you use)? | |

| Yeah you should be able to burn it on CD. I like to use cdrecord. You can make an iso of the directories to back up and then burn. For ex.:
If you want to backup files in /home/apps:
mkisofs -o mybackup.iso -J -R -A -V -v /home/apps
Then use cdrecord:
cdrecord -scanbus
You'll get the device address. Remember that. If this don't work, you'll need to enable SCSI emulation (something that can be a pain). Then,
cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,2,2 mybackup.iso
Of course, adjust speed and dev to what it is on your system.
There's other ways, that is just the way *I* do it and I thought I would share it.  |
