CDBackup, utility designed to work with any backup and restore for Linux

CDBackup is a utility designed to make backups to CD- R(W) media easier.

It is designed to work with any backup and restore software that can read from stdin,write to stdout, and can handle linear devices such as tape drives.

Dump/restore, cpio, afio, and tar should all work fine.

Status The current release of cdbackup is 0.7.0. This program is made available under a BSD-style license, so feel free to make any modifications you wish. All I ask is that you leave the copyrights intact. Download Page. See CHANGELOG for version information and changes. What is it? Cdbackup and cdrestore are utilities designed to make backups to CD-R(W)/DVD-R(W) media easier. They are designed to work with any backup and restore software that can read from stdin, write to stdout, and can handle linear devices such as tape drives. Dump/restore, cpio, afio, and tar should all work fine. WARNING! When using this program under Linux, be sure not to use dump on a mounted filesystem. This has a high potential for creating corrupted backups. As of kernel version 2.4.19, this has not been fixed and it may not be fixed at all. Some time ago there was a discussion about this on the linux-kernel-mailinglist. You can read Linus statement here.
