Is there a way to backup files from different servers to CD without overwriting the previous files that were backed up on the CD? I cannot move the files between the boxes. I've tried both backup and tar with the same result; previous files are overwritten. Thanks.
 
can be done with UDFS and DVDRAM

==> blank DVD disk in DVDRAM device /dev/cd0

udfcreate -d /dev/cd0

mount -v udfs /dev/cd0 /mnt_dir

Then /mnt_dir works like any other disk FS (beit a bit slower than you are used to). Meaning you can create a tarfile or BFF file on it with wathever in it you like. and then another, and another, just keep adding until the DVDRAM disk is full...



HTH,
