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

    12 NOTE: this program REQUIRES that a recent version of cdrecord (or
    13 cdrecord-ProDVD for DVD support) be present in the PATH.

    15 See manpages for further details.

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