On the slightly related topic of DVD backups: i just got a DVD burner
installed into my box and want to use it as a backup medium for my
development stuff. All the GUI tools i know will attempt to create
a mirror of the filesystem tree before even creating the ISO image -
that won't work since sometimes there isn't enough space left on the
/tmp devices.
Any program (pref. a console app :-) that can backup a file system tree
to a DVD _without_ creating an mirror (maybe even without creating an ISO)?
