Using

I get 'mkisofs: Missing pathspec.'

What am I doing wrong?

SYNOPSIS

You gave it the filename you wanted to build as an iso, but the not src
file pathlist to put in that iso.

OK, but

cdrecord dev=cdrom -sao /Backup/mybackup.iso /Backup/amandatapes/Dailys/slot9

You're confusing cdrecord and mkisofs.

mkisofs makes a big ISO file from your small files, and it's the big ISO file that should be burned using cdrecord.

Why your cdrecord can't grok that your DVD can hold more than 1.9GB I don't know.
