this is rather strange reply of the burnfolder:

Indeed, we need to add a "rm $ISO" to the end to clean up after the iso. Also, regarding the eject problems, that's just a mistake in the script. Replace every instance of "eject $ISO" with "eject $2".

the weird thing is that you try and it ejects ddvd, and say this

Code:

tired to look at it today

PatrickNew · 09-21-2007, 11:19 PM

Wow, sorry I've led you astray so many times, I'm just not thinking right. The trouble is, when I gave you the list of options including "-allow-lowercase" and told you to append it to "cdrecord", I should have told you to add it to "mkisofs".

No problem:

I ll have to look a bit the code one day, since my burning will have to one day...
maybe in december ...

I suspect the error is in all the du warnings about things not being found. Are you sure you specified the path of the folder correctly?

benow · 12-10-2007, 01:44 PM

FYI, I've written a little application that does this and a bit more.

I have yet to try that out, but I really like the idea of it. The little script I hacked together never worried about optimality of anything. I'm due to back up my /home to DVD in about a week, and I'm pretty sure I'll be using your app. Thanks!

frenchn00b · 12-10-2007, 02:17 PM

Code:

Usage: org.benow.burninate.Burninator [args]
        -h,--help Print this help message.
        --device  DVD device to burn from (default: /dev/dvd)
        --mount  DVD mount point to use (default: /mnt/cdrom)
        --size  Media capacity, in bytes (default: 4698270000)
        --copies   Burn this many copies of the files (default: 1) 
        --nuke  Automatically delete successfully burned files. (otherwise, moves to ./offline/ directory) 
        --quiet  Don't spew so much useless crap

sounds good because of the subdirectories !

Code:

To invoke the jar, try the following

      $ cd /dir/to/files
      $ java -jar /path/to/burninate.jar [args]

or create a burninator invocation script

      $ echo "java -jar /path/to/burninate.jar \$*" > burninator
      $ chmod +x burninator
      $ sudo mv burninator /usr/bin

so that means we should do:

Code:

      $ cd myfoldertobackup
      $ whereis burninator
      $ /usr/bin/burninator --device /dev/hdc --nuke   *

RIGHT ?

PatrickNew · 12-10-2007, 02:42 PM

Should benow revisit this thread, I have a question about the -nuke option. Does this description mean that it removes the disk images that were generated, or does it remove the files that went onto that disk image?

benow · 12-11-2007, 01:50 AM

Heyas... yeah, watching

frenchn00b: yeah, that's it... you want to invoke it from where the files/directories you want to burn are located. I'll update the project page to make that a bit clearer.

PatrickNew: it actually doesn't make images. It creates mappings for growisofs (actually genisoimage) which it burns from... so no need to wait for images or have extra space. The --nuke option removes the files that were successfully burned to the dvd. The default operation (ie without --nuke) moves the files to a directory named 'offline' in the current directory (created if does not exist). During file scanning any files within 'offline' directories are ignored... allowing for incremental backups, of a sort. All temporary files are removed with or without nuke.

By using java I can pull some tricks that would be tough in straight-up bash (at my bash proficiency, anyway). There's a couple features I'd like to add yet... the ability to prefer whole directories (ie try to burn whole dirs before individual files), which would make the files on the dvd's a bit less fragmented (not splitting up albums, etc)... and the offlining of files to offline dirs in subdirs if an offline dir exists in the subdir (a feature hinted at in response to PatrickNew's question)... would make incremental backups easier.

But, as it stands it is quite useful. Lemme know how you make out!

benow · 12-11-2007, 09:56 AM

The source is included in the jar, if you wish to tinker, btw.
