Archiving a tree to DVD with bak2disc

bak2disc by dorphell is a script to create DVDs of a directory tree, preserving the structure. It will create an index file on the DVD so you can find which DVD the files are on.

I modified the script to create .iso files. You can also feed the file lists created to tar. So I modified the script to create lists contining X GB of data. I feed that to tar and can tar files to a DLT, SDLT, LTO, etc tape.

I sent an email and didn't get a reply. I'll try to get a version up somewhere.
