cdbackup and cdrestore are a pair of utilities designed to facilitiate
nathan@4
     7
streaming backup to and from CD-R(W)/DVD-R(W) disks.  Specificially, they were
nathan@4
     8
designed to work with dump/restore, but tar/cpio/afio/whatever you want should
nathan@0
     9
work, so long as it writes to stdout for backups and reads from stdin for
nathan@0
    10
restores.

This release has beta-state as it introduces many new features
nathan@4
    18
and also changed on-disk data format. It has been carefully
nathan@4
    19
tested, but for now I cannot be sure that it's as reliable and
nathan@4
    20
stable as the 0.6.3 release. Take care!
