Clonezilla creates 2 GB chunks, which can be copied to DVDs and file systems in general, that cannot manage files larger than that. I don't know (haven't tried) to write the image directly to DVDs, but it would certainly be possible in a two-step procedure (with intermediate storage in an external HDD or flash drive). Best regards Nio ps/ I don't really trust DVD disks for backup, but that is another issue. /ds -- Lubuntu-users mailing list Lubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/lubuntu-users
