      for cdrecord:

      dv=/dev/acd0
      export CDR_DEVICE=1,0,0
      filenames=be-well.`date "+%y%m%d"`*

      # first session
      mkisofs -R $filenames |cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree -multi -data -tao -

      #other sessions
      OFST=`cdrecord -msinfo`
      echo $OFST
      mkisofs -M $dv -C $OFST -R $filenames |cdrecord -v driveropts=burnfree -tao -multi -data -

    Season to taste.

    Have you tried just copying the filesystem image, instead of the
    files? [But make sure you get all of the tracks, if there are more
    than one.]
