.TH DKOPP 1 2010-10-01 "Linux" "Dkopp man page" .SH NAME Dkopp - copy files to DVD or BD (Blue-ray) media .SH SYNOPSIS \fBdkopp\fR [ \fB-job\fR | \fB-run\fR ] \fIjobfile\fR \fBdkopp\fR [ \fB-nogui\fR ] \fB-script\fR \fIscriptfile\fR .SH DESCRIPTION Dkopp copies files to backup DVD or BD media. It supports full or incremental backups and full or incremental media verification. .SH OVERVIEW Dkopp is a menu-driven GUI (GTK) program operating in its own window. Dkopp copies files and directories specified in a job file to DVD or BD media. Dkopp can copy all files to empty media (full copy), or only new and modified files to previously used media (incremental). Files and directories to include or exclude can be selected from the file system hierarchy using a GUI navigator. Specifications are saved in a job file which can be re-edited and re-used. Script files can be run in batch mode using the \-nogui option. Dkopp can be used to select and restore files previously copied, and owner and permission data is also restored. The DVD/BD media can also be accessed with file system tools like Nautilus. Dkopp supports the following functionalities: - Three backup modes: full, incremental, accumulate. - Three media verification modes: full, incremental, thorough. - Use write-once or re-writable DVD or BD media (but not CD). - Report disk:backup differences in detail or summary form. - Select and restore files from a backup copy (or use drag and drop). - Search log files to find media where specified files are saved. .SH OPTIONS Command line options: [ \fB-job\fR ] \fIjobfile\fR open job file for editing \fB-run\fR \fIjobfile\fR execute a job file [ \fB-nogui\fR ] \fB-script\fR \fIscriptfile\fR execute a script file .SH SEE ALSO The online user manual is available using the menu Help > contents.
