How can I change the command so the .dar files are named backup. > [n].dar instead of thufir.[n].dar? By using the --create option :) I use: --create /.backup/2007-11-13 Result: Files named 2007-11-13.1.dar, 2007-11-13.2.dar ... get created in the /.backup directory. > 2.) As it stands, it's going to take 862 slices to backup this data > without compression? No. What makes you think that? > I asked for slices of 690M, why is it only showing > as 106M for this particular slice? Because all of your data is only 106M "big", after compression. > 3.) Do I just burn thufir.1.dar to disc (CD-R) as a regular data disc > using, for example, the builti-in nautilus burner? Yes. If you trust CD-R, that is :) > 4.) How do I get DAR to generate the second slice? It does it automatically, as soon as the slice reaches the specified maximum size. > I know that these questions are answered in the manual, Yes. PS: There's a dar mailing list as well. Dennis, the author of dar, reads it and very quickly responds there as well; always very helpful! Alexander Skwar -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
