I want to create a backup of a Leavers network home directory.

I've generally done this before by just creating an iso with genisoimage and then burning it.

However, it seems that the latest users have > 10G in their files. For archival purposes, I want to be able to burn these to multiple DVDs.

How do I create these DVD iso images (I know it's got something to do with tar and stream-media-size, and then how do I restore them if I need them again?

Using Debian
