Hi
all,
This is my first
attempt at backing data on DVDs. Currently I have a program that backs up some
data on a external firewire HDD. I dont format HDD but I use it in raw mode.
When I get a HDD all I do is create a primary partition. So all my code does
is:
1) open the device
(/dev/sd?1)
2) make simple write
and lseek calls
Now I plan to use
DVDs for the same purpose (R only). Can I simply write raw data to a DVD and
read it back as I do now. If not what else will be involved here? I have a
feeling it might not be as simple as it is with the HDD.
Any help is
appreciated
