💿 NAME 💿

Dkopp — copy files to DVD or BD (Blue-ray) media 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

dkopp [ -job | -run ] jobfile
dkopp [ -nogui ] -script scriptfile

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so bestie, Dkopp copies your files onto backup DVD or BD media. That's the whole vibe. It's giving full or incremental backups and full or incremental media verification — both, your choice, no cap. 💅

🦋 OVERVIEW 🦋

Dkopp is a menu-driven GUI (GTK) program that lives in its own little window, main character energy fr fr. ✨ It copies the files and directories you specify in a job file onto DVD or BD media.

It can copy all files to empty media (that's a full copy) or just only new and modified files to previously used media (that's incremental). Not me being flexible like that. 😌

The files and directories you want to include or exclude? You pick them out of the file system hierarchy with a GUI navigator, super easy. Then all those specs get saved into a job file that you can re-edit and re-use forever. Iconic. 🎀

And listen — script files can be run in batch mode using the -nogui option, so you can just vibe while it works.

Dkopp can also select and restore files you previously copied, and yes, owner and permission data is also restored (we're thorough like that 💅). The DVD/BD media can also be accessed with file system tools like Nautilus, iykyk.

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 BlueRay 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. 🔍

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Command line options, bestie:

  • [ -job ] jobfile — open job file for editing ✏️
  • -run jobfile — execute a job file 🚀
  • [ -nogui ] -script scriptfile — execute a script file 📜
Heads up: the -job and -nogui bits are optional — that's why they're chillin' in brackets. The real star is the jobfile or scriptfile. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

The online user manual is available using the menu Help > contents. That manual explains Dkopp operation in great detail — like, a lot of detail, go read it. 📖

Dkopp uses the batch programs grwoisofs and genisoimage.

Dkopp is essentially a GUI front-end for these programs. 🧚
