# dkopp(1)

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

## NAME

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

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

   Dkopp copies files to backup DVD or BD media. It supports full\
    or incremental backups and full or incremental media verification.

## 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 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.
