/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java -jar benow-burninate.jar
you program always calculate wrong, never match with du,
is it to much or too less.

Also the program, is it using cdrecord , can we use it for regular 700mb cdroms?

frenchn00b · 05-04-2008, 07:18 AM

well not a single backup program from a folder to several CD's or DVD's exist and work

it's amaizng

it's like all of us have tapes to make backup

benow · 05-04-2008, 04:37 PM

It works from the current directory, so

Quote:

cd /some/dir/toburn
java -jar /path/to/benow-burninate.jar --nuke

Would burn the current directory recursively and delete once validated. Use

Quote:

java -jar /path/to/benow-burninate.jar --help

for full params.

frenchn00b · 05-17-2008, 01:41 PM

The program is trashing cdrom. Has someone it working or any alternatives that are not using java ?

Code:

Program  not working (lot of DVD have been trashed now :( )

# java-6-sun -Xms128m -Xmx512m -jar /home/trial/benow-burninate.jar  --nuke -device /dev/hdb --size DVD --label hdfdsk
The Burninator.  Andy Taylor <andy@benow.ca>, --help for help.
Using media size: 4695200000
Labelling as: hdfdskX and dumping hdfdsk.idx after run.
Will delete after successful burn.

To burn: 15.1G on to: 4 discs.
Watching for blank disc insert...

I've been making updates to the Burninator application, and am using it to backup across 34 dvds now. It should work fine for mass backup if anyone is interested.

What about using tar/gzip to create a compressed image, then use split to split that up into 4GB chunks and save those to DVD?

benow · 10-08-2008, 12:59 AM

Restore gets a bit awkward with multipart. You would maintain the permissions, however.

I think it may be the best idea, in order to avoid java and so on
http://benow.ca/admin/project/index.page?op=view&key=13 is too complicated to use.
I heard that kdar http://kdar.sourceforge.net/ is a common way for linux ...

indeed, and very much

!
thanks

benow · 10-08-2008, 11:42 PM

What is too complex for you might not be for someone else. I've used the burninator to backup to over 75 dvds in the last few days.

frenchn00b · 11-02-2008, 04:33 PM

so simply as that ,
is there a script that can burn the content of a folder (just hte files)
on several dvd's with using growiso or other standard programs, with a bash/sh code ?

for a simple backup use ... ?
without creating any temp files anywhere cuz rescue mode of the linux box ??

thanks for any codes !!!!

happy tux , e ven after hdd crash

frenchn00b · 11-02-2008, 04:46 PM

we have to use growisofs and not mkisofs/cdrecord that are sources of problems

hence we can code something that would look like this for a bash/sh script, that is workign even when java/isnt installed ... for debugging too ...

Quote:

ave used (successfully) the following command for an initial data burn session:

Code:
growisofs -Z /dev/hda -J -R -V lngst_day_1 ~/Desktop/DSC_0267.JPG
2. I have then used (successfully) the following command (and variations thereof) to add additional files (.jpg and .nef (nikon proprietary format/label)) and folder structures to the same DVD-R:

Code:
growisofs -M /dev/hda -J -R ~/Desktop/june202008/*.*
3. When I try to view the contents of the DVD-R on a MacBook, the MacBook can see the DVD-R and read its label (created using growisofs), but it can't see any of the files or folders burned to the DVD-R.

4. On the other

frenchn00b · 11-03-2008, 01:55 PM

an alternative with growisofs and X:
