The only thing you could do differently is increase the size of the dumps to 1gb, I think standard dvd format has 1 gb file limitations, there could be some other format for the disks to make files bigger though.<br><br><div>

I have shell scripts for my ancient desktop that create image backups of<br>my Linux and Windows partitions and burn them to CDROM's using dump for<br>Linux and partimage for Windows.<br><br>I want to adapt these for use on my new (dual boot - kubuntu feisty/win
<br>XP) notebook with a single layer DVD burner (and much bigger disk<br>partitions).<br><br>Do I keep everything the same, just making the iso files much larger or<br>do I need a new method of doing things?<br><br>The current script does a:
<br>/sbin/dump 0uMBzf 614400 <target-drive> <source-drive><br><br>for each Linux (ext2/3) partition and a<br><br>/usr/sbin/partimage -V614400 -z1 -o -d -m -b -f3 save <source-drive><br><target-drive>
<br><br>for each Windows (FAT32) partition. Then, I just run a script that<br>burns all the images in the order I wanted them while I do a protracted<br>CD shuffle.<br><br>How many blocks big is a DVD or do I have to do things entirely
<br>differently? My new notebook uses ext3 and NTFS.<br><br>TIA<br><br>Joe<br><br>P.S. I just extracted the lines of code that make the backups and<br>removed variable references to make it more clear. I'd have to pour
<br>over the man pages to remember what all the options mean. The whole<br>scripts are available if anyone wants to see them.<br>_______________________________________________<br>nflug mailing list<br><a href="mailto:nflug@nflug.org">
