Does anyone know of an app/script for doing a multi-DVD backup of

I was thinking of just tar.gzing my ~/ and then splitting that file
to sizes to fit on a DVD and then make the ISO. I was hoping for a
script/app that is tested since I don't want to lose my data and I
have to format my computer soon.
look at freshmeat.net for scdbackup. it can be called with
sdvdbackup and will span dvds. I back up my mail server totally to 4
dvds. you can tell it what filesystems to backup, or directories.
it figures it all out for you. be warned that growisofs is a prereq
for it.
