Pybackpack 0.5.4 - A File Is For Life...
By Andrew Price, 2007-12-24 16:20:06 in General.
Blatantly copy&pasted from the mailing list:
Seems that people file bugs when I make releases so here's another one with some more bug fixes. I'm fresh out of wrapping paper and tinsel so .tar.gz will have to suffice :-)
Changelog:
New in v0.5.4 (23/12/2007)
--------------------------
+ Code cleanup based on pychecker results
+ Use genisoimage instead of mkisofs
+ Rearrange the source tree for easier installation and packaging
+ Set the backup set path on creation (bug #60)
+ Strip newlines from MRU entries
Note that the source tree has been rearranged a bit and pybackpack now depends on genisoimage instead of mkisofs so packaging will need to be updated.

Thank you for pybackpack. I had a quick look at the program and have two questions:
1. Can pybackpack back up directly to cd/dvd without creating an iso image first? That would be quicker and can be necessary when backing up very full drives.
2. Does pybackpack support backup onto multiple cd's/dvd's ?
I didn't see an answer to those questions in the ui itself.
Thanks.

Hi Johan,

If such a (standard) method exists, I would love to know what it is. As far as I'm aware at the moment, an image must be created before burning it to a CD/DVD.

Not yet. This is a popular missing feature which might eventually get added once the long-awaited backup method plug-in framework is in place, but at the moment pybackpack is basically a front-end for rdiff-backup which doesn't currently support disc spanning.
