And for the record: http://superuser.com/questions/85466/utility-to-optimally-distribute-files-onto-multiple-dvds http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disc_spanning Also, if you're talking DVDs and compressed audio files, the simplest/sanest way might be to do something like this: du -hs */* given your particular hierarchy, or use a graphical file manager and select various folders, checking the size of your selection until you have about a DVDs worth. That way, your backups will be sequential to match your audio collection, and a few MiB of wasted space at end of DVD should not be a problem. That's what I'd do if I were doing this. good luck zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
