Hi,
I'm looking to backup my mp3 collection (50gig or so) to dvds. I'll
have to tar it all because some of the filenames are too long and a
few have strange accents.

What would people suggest is the best way to go about doing this? I
guess I need to find the best way of creating a series of correctly
sized tar files from the directory tree I'm targetting. Does anyone
know of any scripts or a program that can do this?

I think I'd do it manually, so that I could group similar files
together.


Thanks,

c
