I'm currently using mkisofs (sourceforge) to create CD-ROM .ISO files, from
files of my NTFS FileSystem. With a Script i can create a .ISO file and Burn
the CD-RW with a Backup. 100% automatic, with human intervention (only to
change CD-RW from day-to-day)

I'm searching for a similar tool, to create DVD .ISO files (My Backups are
getting bigger)

Someone can help?

Is there a difference between CD and DVD ISO images?

The W2003K resource kit (downloadable) contains DVDBurn.exe

This tool can turn file in the files system on a .ISO image, or burn a .ISO
to the DVD?
I will look for the tool, tanks

From MS Site:

ISO DVD Burner Tool (DVDBurn) is a command-line tool that allows the user to
write (burn) Digital Video Disk (DVD) images from image files located on the
hard drive to Digital Video Disk (DVD) media. The data image can be created
by any program capable of producing DVD image files. You can also use this
tool to erase DVD media.


As far as i inderstood the tool need a .ISO already created.
I Need to CREATE the .ISO based on my file system

What I'm saying is that I believe mkisofs will make an ISO that can be
burned to either CD or DVD. SInce you are using rewritable DVDs I suggest
giving it a try unless someone can confirm that they are different files.

Your're right!
The .ISO format is the same on DVDs.
The difference is on the dvdburner
i'm on a W2K machine, the Win2003 reskit with dvdburn dwon't install on W2K,
so i used nersocmd

I'm still researching, but i think nerocmd.exe also can create .iso files

My script will do some like that:

mkisofs -J -o c:/temp/bakserver1.iso d:/backup/server1/*
and nerocmd --write --force_erase_cdrw --drivename E --dvd
c:/temp/bakserver1.iso

I'm still testing...

Hi

If you have access to a WinXP computer, you can install the Win2003
reskit on it, and then copy Dvdburn.exe to the Win2k computer (the
help file that comes with the reskit lists Win2k, WinXP and Win2003
under system requirements).

If you have Nero then wouldn't it be easier to just use InCD and xcopy the
files rather than making an ISO image? That's what I do using Drag to Disc
from Roxio.

When I tested mkisofs a while ago it seemed very slow compared to say
UltraISO (shareware), but using packet writing software like InCD or Darg to
Disc or DLA, it seems you make life a lot simpler for yourself.
