Please help me keep my New Year's resolution this year which is to make regular backups. So far it's proving hard to keep...
Used dar (and kdar), I created backup files that are to be burned onto data DVDs. However I can't seem to burn the data files.
k3b says "It is not possible to add files over 4Gb."
mkisofs says:
z@obelix:~$ mkisofs -r -o /tmp/vortex-z-disk1.iso /home/backup/vortex-z-2007-01-28.1.dar
INFO: UTF-8 character encoding detected by locale settings.
Assuming UTF-8 encoded filenames on source filesystem,
use -input-charset to override.
mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File /home/backup/vortex-z-2007-01-28.1.dar is too large - ignoring
Total translation table size: 0
Total rockridge attributes bytes: 169
Total directory bytes: 0
Path table size(bytes): 10
Max brk space used 21000
175 extents written (0 MB)
z@obelix:~$
Here is the filesize:
z@obelix:~$ ls -l /home/backup/vortex-z-2007-01-28.1.dar
-rw-r--r-- 1 z z 4613734400 2007-01-29 00:15 /home/backup/vortex-z-2007-01-28.1.dar
which was determined by kdar: from the drop-down menu in kdar I picked out data dvd and it then creates 4.3GB slices.
So how do people write 4.3GB data DVDs?
Platform: Ubuntu 6.06
