That certainly did the trick - thanks :-) Sorry for the newbie questions.

Next step is I would like to backup some very large files to DVD. I have
some video files (>13GByte) that I would like to backup across multiple DVD
discs (-R or -RW - whichever works :-)).

Has anybody used a DVD burner as a backup mechanism and how do you work out
the device name to use with tar i.e. I found that a floppy is /dev/fd0 -
what would a DVD burner device name be? Is there a command that displays
device names?

Thanks
Peter
