Does anyone have a *SCRIPT* for backing up data to DVD+R media under Fedora?

Hi Marcel,

> Did you try on mounting the dvd on some other dvd-rom player? 

Yup, tried it on the other DVD-ROM drive in the computer and it wouldn't
work.  Also tried it on my XP notebook's DVD drive and Windows wouldn't
touch it either.

Done that previously and growisofs said it wrote it fine but after
mounting the new disk I could only see a file of 13MB not 4GB!
