Problem to create a backup iso

Hello there,

i have tried to create an iso image from a system backup. But it fails with the following error message:

mkisofs -V arch_backup -J -r -o backup.iso /media/disk/Backup
I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage: Directories too deep for '/media/disk/Backup/home/sector/.config/MonoDevelop/addins/MonoDevelop.GtkCore.GtkSharp.2.4.2.4.3.21/lib/mono' (7) max is 6.

Can anyone give me a hint what i make wrong?

Re: Problem to create a backup iso

Probably you have too many subdirectories, maximum is 6 and you have 7.

Try backup just '.config/MonoDevelop/addins/MonoDevelop.GtkCore.GtkSharp.2.4.2.4.3.21/lib/mono'  instead of 'sector/.config/MonoDevelop/addins/MonoDevelop.GtkCore.GtkSharp.2.4.2.4.3.21/lib/mono'
However, I may be wrong

You are nott using the original mkisofs but a bad fork that has many well known bugs including
your problem.

Get the real software from: ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/

Your problem has been fixed in the original software in July 2006.

There's also a cdrtools package in the AUR which the OP can use.
