If your dumps are so small they will fit on CD-R, you could do the following: - make a dump dump -0 -a -L -f - /usr |gzip -c >usrdump.gz - use mkisofs to make an ISO file containing your dump mkisofs -r -pad -o usrdump.iso usrdump.gz - burn the ISO to CD-R with cdrecord or burncd. If the gzipped dump file is larger than a CD, you could use split(1), to make CD-sized chenks, and burn them to different CD's.=20 > By now, i can asume that the best choice is to use 'dump' but i > can't realize how to use the CD-R as a 'writeable' device. If you want to use a CD as a kind of harddisk, you could use an UDF filesystem. See udfclient in ports. If the dumps are big, upgrade to a DVD burner and use growisofs(1) to burn the data to DVD.
