Dear managers,
we would like to backup ou home dirs on a DVD once a month. Solaris
comes with this cdrw tool that we are used to use as follows
cdrw -i /tmp/image.iso
I know thatone can use something like
/opt/sfw/bin/mkisofs -iso-level 4 -o /tmp/image.iso /home
to create an iso image. However, we had already had problems with long
filenames using this approach. Is anybody actually using DVDs for
backup purposes? How should we use mkisofs to make sure all files -
even those with very lng file names - are included? It's ok if the DVD
can only be read by Solaris. Any idea?
Thanks,
Andreas
