cat works just as well as dd there. dd is mainly for transferring data

hello,
I need help making backups of my valuable IRIX media. I have heard
that you
can use CDRWIN, and i did, which made a decent backup, except I
couldnt boot
from the copy, and CDRWIN wont work properly on my laptop. is there
any good
windows based program that would copy and image my IRIX media and
keep them
bootable? if none for windows, i do have ubuntu linux loaded,
although not
compatible with my network devices so it is rarely used and cant
download
things. thanks!!

The easiest way to dump them to images would be to use "cat
/dev/cdrom > image.iso" or similar in a shell under Linux.
