Do what k3b is doing manually (it just calls external programs to do
it's work). That is what the text below is.
There are several scripts and things around that do various ways of
doing the things below, k3b is just a nice fancy gui for it instead.

|
| I've built a shell script which creates afio archives with:
|
| find /${f} -depth -mount | \
| egrep -v "`cat ${workdir}/tarX_${f}`" \
| | afio -Z -v -T 3k -o ${workdir}/${now}_${f}.afio \
| > ${workdir}/${now}_${f}.log 2>&1
|
| ${workdir}/tarX_${f} lists stuff you don't want backed up.
|
| ${now} == $(date '+%Y%m%d')
|
| ${f} == one of "root etc home var" (it's a loop variable).
|
| Whatever the above command lands in ${workdir}, write to ISO image
| file:
|
| mkisofs -R -o /scratch/iso/track_01.img \
| -pad -allow-leading-dots -max-iso9660-filenames \
| -r -relaxed-filenames /scratch/afio
|
| Then:
|
| cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd -eject \
| -tao -data /scratch/iso/track_01.img
|
| No GUI required. Full backup of a personal workstation, capable of
| restoring it after reinstall of OS, in only 18 minutes or so.
