Backup the iPhoto Library to DVD's with tar
Authored by: gdtrfb on Jan 18, '11 09:28:57AM

One of the nice features of this method... If one or more of your backup discs becomes corrupted or otherwise unavailable, you don't lose the entire backup. Just the data that was on that disc plus any leading or trailing files from the discs on either side of it in the sequence. I didn't know about that -L and -M features in gnutar. Just tested the functionality and it works great. Including when part of the backup set is missing.
