Backup-DVD

Backup-DVD is a simple script to backup the entire system on a rewritable DVD. It is designed to be manily used as a cron job. Backup-DVD also logs operations in /var/log/backup.log and sends feedback by email, and it is fully configurable by editing /etc/backup-dvd/backup-dvd.conf. This script cannot be run as sudo; it must be run directly as root.

Installation:

Download it manually, and install it directly running:

sudo dpkg -i backup-dvd_1.0.0-19_all.deb

Usage:

backup-dvd [-d] [-t] [-h] [-v]

-d = Debug mode, runs verbosely
-t = Test mode (backup /usr/lib for testing, do not delete logs)
-k = Keep temporary archive
-h = Show this help and exits
-v = show version and exits
