I'm running C5.8 and want to backup a directory that is 6GB in size.
Is there any Linux program for Centos to make this backup over 2 x 4.4GB DVD+R disks please?
Something with a GUI like K3b would do nicely.
OK I have found dar in EPEL
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAR_%28Disk_Archiver%29
and a gui for it called dargui
http://dargui.sourceforge.net/
I have downloaded the 0.7.0 linux version, and run the ./install.sh script, and it has installed itself on Centos 5.8 32bit and runs nicely.
What would be handy is to be able to make my overnight directory backups into slices, so they are ready to burn to DVD's whenever I want to.
Kind Regards,
Keith
