Greetings; Was running FreeBSD 5.1 Release on a Dell Inspiron 8500 with a CD-RW/DVD Combo drive and "backed up" data onto several new CD-RWs simply as follows: burncd -s max data archive.tar.gz Then after installing FreeBSD 5.2 Release, tried restoring as follows: tar -xvzf /dev/acd0 And unfortunately ended up with only error messages such as input/output, unexpected end of archive/file and child returned status 2 from all the CD-RWs too. Not sure if it has anything to do with not blanking or erasing the new CD-RWs first or not adding "fixate" to the "burncd" command, but planning to always now just burn and thoroughly test ISOs for even one file, and only desperately seeking to first recover this data any which way. Thank you very much for any help here,
