Dear Valery Zamarayev,

I have been using "mkisofs -D -U -R": curious as it may seem, it works 
like charm for me. I can access all my backed-up freebsd files with no 
difficulty. I have even tried 9 levels of directory nesting. Not sure 
*if* and *where* I will hit the limit, if any ... :-)

-D = no deep relocation; 
-U = untranlated, ie non-truncated file names (up to 30 characters);
-R = Rockridge extensions.

BTW, I issued some "diff -r" commands to make sure that my files had 
been correctly copied (safe paranoia). 

Practically, I can save my freebsd trees with small to no changes in 
file names [wild screams of joy censored]

Not yet tried -J (Joliet), but I could NOT care less about Winblows 
:-))

Best regards,
Salvo

P.S. The only thing I have yet to do with Winblows is ... cleaning my 
Epson Stylus Color 800 heads. Until I find out how to do it under 
FreeBSD :-)))
