Multi-DVD or (multi-CD) spanning backups with tar
Authored by: JimAkin on Jun 25, '05 12:15:31PM

I've had very good luck with Stefan Hülswitt's free CDBackup.

Despite its name, it works with DVD-R(W) and CD-R(W)s.

It uses hfspax (included in the installation) and gzip for multi-disc backups. It also does full and incremental backups, with the caveat that file deletions aren't tracked for incremental backups. (Files you delete between backups show up again when you do a restore.)

Multi-DVD or (multi-CD) spanning backups with tar

Checked the link -- seems for Linux. It also directly writes to a device such as /dev/scd0 on Linux. Did you have to patch it for Mac OS, and does it write to a burner directly -- how do you know which one?
