| Feb 7, 2014 at 19:56 | comment | added | Olli | @AngeloNeuschitzer as long as it works, I don't mind. Either GUI or CLI is fine. Preferably just giving folder (tree(s)), and then new/modified files are picked automatically. | |
| Feb 7, 2014 at 19:34 | comment | added | Angelo Fuchs | How do you determinate what files go to what disk? Do you need a GUI that allows you selection of files? Would a CLI tool that you point to a folder, a disk drive and a size info okay? (Like: "backuper ~/fotos/today /media/dvd1 4.7G") | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 10:24 | comment | added | Olli | @tombull89 I know. That's why I'm asking for recommendations. I could imagine there's tool that handles part of the requirements, and can be combined with burning software. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 10:20 | comment | added | tombull89 | You're likely going to have issues with your requirements, but the best disk burning software, IMHO, is ImgBurn. It'll save the files to disk, no special format, it'll do disk verify on burn, supports different disks, and will run on Windows. I do not know if it fills the other criteria, hence me posting this as a comment, but as it is free you could always take a look. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 9:56 | comment | added | Olli | @MadTux I misunderstood 'I'd just' as suggestion (instead of 'I just...'. As written above, I want/need a tool that writes stuff as raw files, not on some exotic backup database format. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 9:50 | comment | added | MadTux | Just my way of doing it -- I also use the same way to back up my OS ; I just can't be bothered to learn some complex clever tool that saves stuff in a format I don't understand. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 9:44 | comment | added | Olli | And pick all changes manually? That doesn't sound too convenient. | |
| Feb 6, 2014 at 9:41 | comment | added | MadTux | I'd just tar.xz the folder with the pictures, and burn it to a disk with some standard disk burner ;) | |
