                  COMMAND LINE Options FOR WRITING DVDs:
       **********************************************************

FIRST: How to make a DVD of processed data:
 
 backup_rimage.com /home/mcfuser/userdir/process_dir/ -regardless

********************************************************************************
             For users, who'll get one DVD copy of their data,
      do this at the beginning of the week BEFORE the user starts taking data:

     ssh to server as mcfuser 
     backup_rimage.com /data/mcfuser/ -since now -auto -realtime -splituser -note "User Copy"
 
*******************************************************************************
                Restarting backup_rimage.com DURING a user's run:

     ssh to server as mcfuser
     backup_rimage.com data/mcfuser -since last -realtime -splituser -note "User Copy"
or:  backup_rimage.com data/mcfuser -since hour -realtime -splituser -note "User Copy"
or:  backup_rimage.com data/mcfuser -since day  -realtime -splituser -note "User Copy"

"-since last" goes out and looks in /archive/files_xxxx.list for the last
created job and finds the last file that was submitted to the robot for backup.
This is NOT the way to start backup_rimage.com if it's the FIRST job 
AFTER a SYSTEM archive, since that last job will be for data that's a week or so old.)

"-since  hour"  anything within last hour
"-since day"    anything within last day

***************************************************************************
                  Backing up data from a particular file, onwards:

     ssh to server as mcfuser 
     backup_rimage.com /data/mcfuser -since zzzz -realtime -splituser -note "User DVD"

zzzz is a unique identifier of a file created just PRIOR to
the FIRST file you want to backup-- (it can be a nuisance to find that file)

**********************************************************************
                   For System backups, do this at the end of the week, 
                               when there are no users: 

        ssh to server as mcfuser 
        backup.com /data/mcfuser -copies 2 -since xxxx -note "System Archive"

xxxx can be any of: 
/data/log/last_system_(thios, mcfuser, or  plex)_backup.txt
  (The "last_"  files are created as timestamps by backup_rimage.com when it
    completes.)

**********************************************************************************
                SWITCHING USERS (from plex to mcfuser, or vise-versa):

backup_rimage.com should be running in the background whenever users are taking data.
It only needs to be killed before switching users (mcfuser to plex, or vise-versa).
If it's running in the background (as it most likely is), then
entering "kill -INT nnnnn", where nnnnn is the process ID.
does the same thing as "control C", allowing the process 
to end "nicely", i.e.finish creating the job for submission.
************************************************************************************
                                Some sketchy details:

archive.bl831.als.lbl.gov is a windows machine which contols the DVD Robot.
"/archive" is the name of the windows directory ,(/Rimage/Publisher Orders) which is shared on the server as "/archive".

The following files are crated by backup_rimage.com and are writtenm to /archive:
files_xxxx.list  A text file of all /dir/filenames.ext which will be written to DVD,
label_xxxx.txt   Contains the name of the bit map image which Rimage will write on the DVD,
label_xxxx.bmp   The file refered to above,
image_xxxx.iso   The BIG tar'ed file which will be written to DVD.
****************************************************************************
                                 Restarting the DVD Robot:

If everything is screwed up, power cycle the robot (switch in back just above power cord),
and Restart computer:  remember to click on OK when Production Server first starts,
otherwise it takes a longer time to start.

Note:  the server is shared on this windows machine and mounts automatically,
but you'll need the mcfuser password.
