When you set out to create your ISO image, consider where you will ultimately need to access the files you back up using mkisofs (Linux, Windows, or Macs). Once the image is created, it can be used in different ways, the most obvious of which is to burn the image to a CD or DVD.

Besides being useful in producing all or portions of a Linux file system to use on a portable medium, mkisofs is also useful for creating live CDs/DVDs. It does this by adding boot information to the image that can launch a Linux kernel or other operating system, bypassing the computer’s hard drive.

NOTE Although you can still use the mkisofs command in Ubuntu, mkisofs is now a pointer to genisoimage. The genisoimage command was derived from mkisofs, which was part of the cdrtools package (see http://cdrecord.berlios.de). Development of genisoimage is part of the cdrkit project (www.cdrkit.org).
