I have an LG DVD writer, but havent been able to reliabily do data backups
I have like 4GB data to backup daily and I make 1 single big tar that then convert to iso file
iso format doesn't support files larger than 2GB.
Should I split the tar in smaller files ?
yes!
can anyone pls post the mkisofs and cdrecord command lines that you are using, or the script file you use for data backup for DVD ?
also I noticed that while Linux is burning the DVD I cant access the samba shares. after the DVD is finished burning I get all working back.
I am using 2 HD mounted as master on each controler with software RAID1 configuration and the DVD is mounted as slave with one of the disks
thanks for any help

I personally like the LG writer. It handles both +/- formats, as well as DVD-RAM. Highly recommended.
