Hi all,

I am looking for a backup program that can back up to my DVD+-R/RW drive to back up my private portage tree/distfile/music/web server. What
programs would you recommend to handle this task?

TIA James Wall

=A0
You can try k3b

Well, that's not a backup app. =A0But anyway, I don't use a "b= ackup app" either. =A0I just tar.lzma the whole thing and burn it :P

My bad :( I thought it is the program to write to DVD.
I am not sure what you want. In my case, I combine a bash script to compres= s, rsync ... with cron to do the back up weekly. It seem to be quite conven= ient.

If you have big files using rar is faster and save more space than tar.
