Dump9660 is a tool for creating ISO 9660 compliant CD images suitable for use with tools such as FreeBSD's burncd. Dump9660 supports the El Torrito bootable CD and Microsoft Joliet extensions as well as the Rock Ridge and Plan 9 system use extensions. Mk9660 is a front end for dump9660 that provides the traditional ability to create CD images from a subtree of the file system. Dump9660 is similar in specification, but creates and updates backup CD images in the style of the Plan 9 dump file system. The dump is file-based rather than block-based: if a file's contents have not changed since the last backup, only its directory entry will be rewritten. - William Josephson and Russ Cox
