CD Writer for filesystems, & HD Backup SW HowTo - Recommendations please?
What is the best GUI CD filesystem writing sw avial that runs under KDE,
either:
1) KDE specific, or
2) not KDE specific.
Also: What is the best backup sw to backup a HD onto a CD? (I haven't
looked this up yet, myself.)
Ie, I want to write a directory tree onto the CDs. (Like for doing data
backup.) For CD-R & CD-RW media. You can make suggestions about for
writing audio CDs also, but I really want to know about filesystem
writers now.
This needs info about how to support IDE interface cd writers - so, what
needs to be known about drivers? (I remember something about needing an
IDE to SCSI interface fake layer?)
Below is some info I found, but I don't know anything more about them
than this.

kdebase-audiolibs - KDE audio libraries amd modules for kdebase

cdcontrol - A parallel burner that allow you to write to one or more
CD-Writter at once
