Backup linux dvd

[phpdog]

Hi ,

I bought SuSE 9.1 a while ago and the DVD is looking very ragged , so i wanted to copy it to another DVD to make a backup if the origional gets damaged .

I have no idea how to do it , the dvd burner dosent recodnise it as a dvd.

Im pretty new to this DVD burning , i just bought 1 and thats why im backing up all my OS that are on DVD's .

if anyone can help with this ?

The SuSE 9.1 DVD is labeled when its in the DVD player or writer " SU910.001 " and in properties it says File System is " CDFS "

Use DVD Decrypter (free download)
1) Go under Mode - ISO - Read and rip the DVD to an ISO file on your hard drive
2) Switch to Mode - ISO - Write and burn the ISO image that you just ripped

If you want to use linux the easiest way I think would be to just do a simple dd copy. Look into it to make sure I've got the options right but it should be:

Put in DVD.
dd if=/mnt/dvd of=/path/you/choose/dvd.iso
take out DVD
put in DVD-R
dd if=/path/you/choose/dvd.iso of=/mnt/dvd

Something like that anyways. Of course /mnt/dvd is whatever SuSE puts your dvd to be.

I thought the backup would be done in Windows.
