I use a datafile, which contains names of directories/files, and
a script which creates an ISO image and burns it to CD-R[W].

As the capacity of CDs is limited to 700MB, I watch over the
size of the data the datafile points to myself, and create several
datafiles if needed.

I can send you the scripts, if you want
