NAME

       multicd - program to backup your data to CD-R/CD-RW

SYNOPSIS

       multicd [options]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the multicd command. This manual
       page was written for the  Debian  GNU/Linux  distribution  because  the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       multicd is a program that provides an easy way to backup a large number
       of files to multiple CDs. Give multicd the files/directories  you  want
       backed  up and it will create as many CDs as it needs to, prompting the
       user to put in a new disc whenever needed. It can be configured to  run
       in a multi-threading mode, where it will burn one image to a disc while
       it is copying files to another image. This feature can be disabled  for
       slower machines.

       As minimum requirement to run multicd you have to modify /etc/multicdrc
       or copy it to ~/.multicdrc, and customise the settings to your needs.

OPTIONS

       For more assistance see the comments in /etc/multicdrc.
