&gt; I've been using this: <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.bluehaze.com.au/unix/cdbkup.html";>http://www.bluehaze.com.au/unix/cdbkup.html</a> for 
&gt; a month or 2 now for CD backups, and it works pretty well. Adapting to 
&gt; DVD for backup wouldn't be hard (just have to change the chunk size 
&gt; for the tar files it produces).
&gt;
&gt; The only caveat is: you need enough local diskspace somewhere to write 
&gt; the tar files (which can be gzipped) before they get written to 
&gt; removable media.

&gt;&gt; Does anyone know of any backup packages out there for Linux that will 
&gt;&gt; write to DVDs?  Sure I could roll my own with a complex script 
&gt;&gt; involving growisofs, dvdrecord, find and some filters but I was 
&gt;&gt; hoping not to reinvent the wheel.  I envision tossing a DVD RW in the 
&gt;&gt; drive once a day/week/? and letting the thing run overnight.  I'm not 
&gt;&gt; looking for full system backups, just important data.
&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; Thanks,
&gt;&gt; Jim.

That would be about half of what I want.  I'd like this to run 
unattended but if I'm reading that right the burning half is still manual.

Thanks,
Jim.
