Need some help hammering out a tar/mkisofs command to backup my disks to dvd. I'm looking to burn two root level directories (/home,/var and /usr, /) to they're own dvd. Problem is I don't have room to build the tarball or iso on the hard disk before I burn it. Using a command such as
mkisofs -R -o backup.iso /home /var looses some directory structure and if I use graft points I loose directory ownership & permission information. At least I haven't yet figured out how not to. I also can't figure out how to make mkisofs read from stdin for its directories so that I can have tar pipe its output directly to mkisofs. I'd rather use just mkisofs and have each individual file than one tarball but I don't want to run into any problems with restoring from backup either since I plan on doing it shortly (only using half of harddrive and fdisk for some reason won't let me put a partition on the rest) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
