Re: [ccp4bb]: Linux tape backup

["Manfred W. Baumstark" <maba@ukl.uni-freiburg.de>]

My variant is:

Make an ISO image with Joliet and Rock Ridge extension by "mkisofs -r -J
-v" on the IRIX machine.
Burn the ISO image. I use a WinNT-PC and Adaptec easy CD creator to burn
the image, as I have no CD writer connected to the SGI's.  

The CD-R's can be read on PC's and IRIX, with no problems at all. I agree
however, that this is no nice solution for the large CCD datasets, even if
compressed.
