Consider learning how to create archives. It's an opportunity to
learn! :-) "tar" or "cpio" or "afio" (my favourite), then point
mkisofs at the result, then point cdrecord at the result of that.
This has worked well for me for years, over many versions of
Linux/Unix. Here's an example of how I use them. You're welcome to a
copy of the script I use. Just ask.
I've built a shell script which creates afio archives with:
find /${f} -depth -mount | \
egrep -v "`cat ${workdir}/tarX_${f}`" \
| afio -Z -v -T 3k -o ${workdir}/${now}_${f}.afio \
> ${workdir}/${now}_${f}.log 2>&1
${workdir}/tarX_${f} lists stuff you don't want backed up.
${now} == $(date '+%Y%m%d')
${f} == one of "root etc home var" (it's a loop variable).
Whatever the above command lands in ${workdir}, write to ISO image
file:
mkisofs -R -o /scratch/iso/track_01.img \
-pad -allow-leading-dots -max-iso9660-filenames \
-r -relaxed-filenames /scratch/afio
Then:
cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd -eject \
-tao -data /scratch/iso/track_01.img
No GUI required. Full backup of a personal workstation, capable of
restoring it after reinstall of OS, in only 18 minutes or so.
