I too need to back up some pretty hefty systems (~ 8 GB), so not only will I need to write to DVD instead of iso9660 (<= 700 MB), but I'll also need to span DVDs. I looked up some manuals on dd and mkisofs, and it is not clear to me that either of them can do this. Anyone else out there encounter this problem? Better yet, has anyone resolved it?
