X-CD-Roast is a flexible frontend for optical disc authoring. It combines command line tools like "cdrecord", "cdda2wav", "readcd" and "mkisofs" into a nice GTK based graphical user interface.
BAR can create compressed, encrypted and splitted archives of files and disk images which can be stored on a disk, cd, dvd, bd or directly on a ftp, scp or sftp server. A server-mode and a scheduler is integrated for making automated backups.
