Linux Directory to an ISO

0Milinda14th Nov 2008linux, linux tips

If you want to backup any of your directories in Linux file system, you can use following command. Replace LABEL and directory to suit your needs.

mkisofs -V LABEL -r directory | gzip > cdrom.iso.gz

In Ubuntu 8.04 mkisofs command is just a symbolic link to genisoimage, the fork of mkisofs. It provides a mkisofs symlink to genisoimage for compatibility purposes. Ubuntu advice users to use genisoimage instead of mkisofs.
