Description
Backup-DVD
Backup-DVD is a handy little script that helps you back up your whole system onto a rewritable DVD. It’s super easy to use and is mainly meant for setting up as a cron job, so it can run automatically on its own! Plus, it keeps a log of everything in /var/log/backup.log, so you can always check what’s been done. Want feedback? No problem! It sends updates right to your email. If you want to customize how it works, just edit the config file at /etc/backup-dvd/backup-dvd.conf. Just remember, this script needs to be run directly as root; trying to run it with sudo won't work.
