Linux Directory to an ISO

November 14th, 2008 · No Comments · linux, 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.
