Dear Folks,
I just bought a DVD writer on Sunday and am ignorant about DVDs;
please excuse me.
Can I back up thousands of small files, one at a time to a DVD, with
growisofs? Can is do something simple like this, and get a reliable
result?
What are the limitations of this if it is possible?
The kind of thing I wonder is: can I do something like this:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -J -R file1
for f in otherfiles...;do
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -J -R $f
done
where otherfiles... expands to many tens of thousands of files.
Does it make any difference if the media is DVD-R, DVD+R, or
DVD[+-]RW?
