directory backup to cd
Thanks to the helpful people at virtualdr I was able to fix my samba problem, but now one more problem exists.
The linux server I setup is going to have a CD-Writer installed into it for backing up once a week.
I know how to enable scsi emulation on the burner but could someone help me with creating a shell script and automating it with cron. What I would like to be able to setup is for the machine to burn the contents of a directory (for example one called backup) onto a CD at 11:30pm every Friday, then delete the backup file after it has finished and for the CD to be ejected.
I know to backup to cd I enter to following commands at the shell prompt.
mkisofs -o /var/tmp/backup.cd /backup
cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=0.0.0 -data /var/tmp/backup.cd
Thank you in advance for any people who help me, as I would also like to do this to my server as well.
Yuri.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the distro is Redhat 7.2
