A GUI based solution sounds rather poor for a backup plan as you describe.

Far better to have a script that is able to back up gulps of 4.7Gig rather than you having to guess.

1. Apparently cdrecord can be used to write DVDs.

2. mkisofs can be used for creating the iso image.

3. I suggest using a script that has takes a list of all the files to be backed up, then makes a number of iso images and records them.

I would not trust a GUI based approach if it requires an operator to have dragged a specific folder, far better to automate and error check.

NAME
XmDragStart -- A Drag and Drop function that initiates a drag and drop transaction SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/DragDrop.h> Widget XmDragStart( Widget widget, XEvent *event, ArgList arglist, Cardinal argcount); DESCRIPTION
XmDragStart initiates a drag operation. This routine returns the DragContext widget that it initializes for the associated drag transac- tion. The toolkit is responsible for freeing the DragContext when the drag and drop transaction is complete. widget Specifies the ID of the smallest widget and/or gadget that encloses the source elements selected for a drag operation. event Specifies the XEvent that triggered the drag operation. This event must be a ButtonPress event. arglist Specifies the argument list. Any XmDragContext resources not specified in the argument list are obtained from the resource data- base or are set to their default values. argcount Specifies the number of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist) For a complete definition of DragContext and its associated resources, see XmDragContext(3). RETURN
Returns the ID of the DragContext widget that controls this drag and drop transaction. Returns NULL if the drag cannot be initiated. RELATED
