Jump to PostDid you format the dvd;
sbin/mke2fs -b 2048 /dev/scd0
then you can use the dd command;

Looks like I was wrong, see if this helps;
growisofs is the main command used for writing …
Jump to PostWhat happens when you try it like this;
#growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J /home/arpan/Desktop/backup
Also if there is only individual files you want to copy you may be able to create a tar.gz and save it that way;
