How about this gesture:

  star -c -xdev -acl -link-dirs level=0 -C / . \
  | gzip | growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/fd/0

To be checkread by:
  gunzip </dev/dvd | star -t -v

(If this shall produce a system recovery backup then it
has to be done in single user mode resp. from a booted
rescue system.)

How would above gesture look with cdrecord for DVD media ?
(No disk buffer, single pass, ready for making use of
 star's fault tolerance options ...)

Have a nice day :)
