I must be disagreeable again. Here's my notes on a raw-file backup and verify which I did last January (using afio instead of tar): /////// time find / /usr /u -xdev | afio -ozZ -b32k -c256 -M16m -T1k /big/fbsdbackup cd /big/fbsdbackup-dir; afio -izZ -b32k -c256 -M16m -T1k /big/fbsdbackup cd /big; burncd -f /dev/acd0c -s 2 -e blank data fbsdbackup fixate diff -r /big/fbsdbackup-dir / cd /big/fbsdbackup-dir; time afio -rzZ -b32k -c256 -M16m /dev/acd0c /////// I might have gotten lucky by creating a raw file that was a multiple of the device block size (2k), but the "burncd" man page says that pads short files so file size shouldn't be a problem.
