I'm going to be writing a large amount of data to disc, CD-R, and would like to be able to select a folder of many GB and have it the files written to disc automagically. I kinda like <http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/Features.html>, and there's a KDE front-end, but haven't used it yet. I like the idea of slices (one disc=one slice?) and direct access, which the help page explains by stating that: "even using compression dar has not to read the whole backup to extract one file." So, if I know that the particular file I'm looking for is on disc 6 (meaning slice 6?), then I can just pop disc 6 in and extract it? Can I also extract the entire slice with one go? I say "extract", but I don't have intentions of using compression. I'm looking for user experience with DAR or similar tools. thanks, Thufir
