#2 Ability to access and use CDRW
As a backup and/or forensics tool, the ability to
select and copy disk contents to CDR or CDRW media is
a must. This capability should be included in the
next release intrinsicly or through the addition of
other public license software. A good choice may be:
mkCDrec (Make CDROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El
Torito) disaster recovery image, including backups of
the Linux system to one or more CD-ROM(s) (multi-
volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored on
another disk, NFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk
crash or system intrusion the system can be booted
from the CD-ROM and one can restore the complete
system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which
allows one to restore a disk to another disk (the
destination disk does not have to be of the same size,
as it calculates the partition layout itself).
Currently, ext2 and reiserfs filesystems are
supported. [Download] [Home Page] [GNU Public License]
