Is there a Linux CLI program to backup and decrypt a DVD to ISO format?

PRAGMA · 12th December 2019, 21:41

Where the ISO has all original metadata that the original disc has with no modifications?

For example, K3b and Gnome's Disk Utility both provide ISO decrypted backups and the ISO has the original untouched metadata but do not provide functionality to the CLI.

I'm hoping to find a way to do this to incorporate it into https://github.com/imPRAGMA/udfbackup so that auto-backup via Linux is a better overall experience.

Sounds like you're looking for something like dvdbackup - the link is to the Arch Wiki, but the program itself is distro-agnostic. I used it on my Debian system to rip whole DVDs by invoking it with the -M switch. If you want to put all the content back into a single ISO file, you'll have to invoke growisofs to do that - the wiki page I linked has all the commands you'll need.

Yeah, I do it the same way that BloodyRipper mentioned:

Code:

$ dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -o ~ -M

I've no need of an ISO, but the Arch wiki has instructions for making one.
