File size constraints on ISO
I am using mkisofs to create ISO image for backup. I was just wondering if there is a way to restrict the iso image size so that when you try to image a directory which contains files with sizes over 650MB, it would know where to stop so that you actually get an image of 650MB.
For example, lets say I want to backup my entire /home directory. The folder is about 900MB. I just run Code:
mkisofs -o myhomebak.iso /home |
Instead of this...why not use zisofs-tools to create a compressed image of your 900MB file tree then burn on a single disk. I am not sure of the maximum size that will fit on one disk but it is over 2GB anyway.
Install zisofs-tools then have a gander at man mkzftree |
Dunno, though freshmeat lists several CD backup programs. Maybe one of them will work for you?
