I am using Lubuntu 14.04. It is the only OS on the computer. Is there any software I can use to backup to a cd or dvd?

Roland,
You can mix applications from different Ubuntu flavors, and even have 2 or more interfaces side by side. http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/flavours
sudo apt-cache search burning | grep -i cd/dvd
# It will give you some options
# brasero - CD/DVD burning application for GNOME
sudo apt-get install brasero
My favorite is Brasero, it is straightforward and a rock solid software.

dd
command. Do you know how your drive is called, or not? (eg./dev/sda
) Also, I'm using 14.04, at least it's stable and everything works for me. – Jacajack Apr 16 '15 at 21:24/dev/sda
.. You can find out drive names bysudo fdisk -l
. We udedd
like this:dd --if=/dev/sda --of=backup.img
where input file (if) is your drive name and output file (of) is you bacup file. To use that properly you have to be in your external drive location by terminal. Also, if you get permission errors usesudo
before your command. – Jacajack Apr 17 '15 at 04:59sudo fdisk -l
output by editing your post. – Jacajack Apr 17 '15 at 05:15
