Why couldn't you just select the backup option then?

This is not backup.

I create the compressed tarball with;

Code:

$ tar jcpf tarball.tar.bz2 /path/to/directory

$ ls -al /path/to/directory

Code:

-rw-r--r--  1 satimis satimis 797903054 Nov 21 04:24 Documents_20061120.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r--  1 satimis satimis 386070936 Nov 21 03:57 Download_20061120.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r--  1 satimis satimis  39899597 Nov 21 04:01 Music_20061120.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r--  1 satimis satimis    392570 Nov 21 04:02 Wallpaper_20061120.tar.bz2

After burning on DVD, they become

Code:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 797903054 Nov 21 04:24 Documents_20061120.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 386070936 Nov 21 03:57 Download_20061120.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 39899597 Nov 21 04:01 Music_20061120.tar.bz2

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 392570 Nov 21 04:02 Wallpaper_20061120.tar.bz2
