Hi, I'm considering buying a CD-RW to use for backup under FreeBSD 2.2.6 and Windows 95. However, before I commit my self to anything I would need to know if there is an easy way to back up a file system that is larger than can be fitted onto one CD-RW? I guess one way would be to manually setup the backup by selecting individual directories until one CD is full, then skip to the next. It would be nice if this could be done automatically, preferably so that a restore could be done simply by copying the files back to the HD. Also, not having to use too much temporary storage space would be nice, preferably only the 650MB needed to fill the CD. Thanks for any help and advice.
