(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) Media/Device Information, Filesystems, and Disks :
What are a good set of options to backup /home to cdr?
The trick is to choose a set of options to the mkisofs command that will preserve the filenames, the perms, and as much original inode information as possible.
    The following are good.  I use 'em, and I haven't discovered any 
    problems yet.
sco_notes version ==> mkisofs -l -L -r -v -V home1 -o iso.img . altered version ==> mkisofs -R -U -v -V home1 -o iso.img .

       -U  force untranslated filenames (includes all the following!)
               -allow-lowercase      lowercase chars ok in filenames
               -allow-multidot       multiple dots ok in filenames
               -d                    don't add a trailing . to filenames
               -l                    allow 31 char filenames
               -L                    filenames can begin with a .
               -N                    omit version numbers in filenames
               -no-iso-translate    do not translate # and ~ in filenames
               -relaxed-filenames   all 7-bit chars are allowed in filenames
-R engage Rockridge extensions with SUSP extensions. -v verbose -V home1 this lables the disk home1. -o iso.img this puts the output in a file called iso.img . the last period tells it where to start.
