# backup2mdisc
|
||||
|
||||
**Now you can enjoy a _self-contained_ backup on each disc without chain-dependency across your entire multi TB backup set!**:
|
||||
- **Independently decryptable** (and restorable) archives on each M-Disc.
|
||||
- Automatic ISO creation and optional disc burning in the same script.
|
||||
- **Fast compression via lz4**.

## Purpose:
|
||||
1. Scans all files in a source directory.
|
||||
2. Groups them into "chunks" so that each chunk is <= a specified size (default 100GB).

4. **Cross-Platform**
|
||||
- On FreeBSD or macOS, you might need to tweak the commands for hashing (`sha256sum` vs. `shasum -a 256`) or ISO creation (`mkisofs` vs. `genisoimage`).
|
||||
- For burning, Linux uses `growisofs`, macOS uses `hdiutil`, and FreeBSD may require `cdrecord` or another tool.
