cdbackup
CDBackup is a utility to make backups to CD-R(W) media easier. It is designed to work with any backup and restore software that can read from stdin, write to stdout and can handle linear devices such as tape drives. Cpio, afio, and tar should all work fine.

Using cdbackup on FreeBSD
I'm trying to use it in a BSD system, but there's an error when I'm compiling:
"Makefile", line 27: Could not find .dependencies
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
Happy new year!
Re: This is a good thing
You should check out multicd . It can be "configured to run in a mode where it simply creates a series of image files, without burning anything to discs. Some people find this useful if they want to burn the CDs later."
Cheers!
This is a good thing
Hey,
I'm using cdbackup to backup my server and it works fine.
I have to backup a lot of stuff, so I'm wondering if there is a possibility to build ISO-Images on the hard disk and burning the CDs the next weekend.
Do you have an idea to to that with cdbackup.
