The best way to back up is using tar anyway. Is it not an option?
If you wish to have directories, you may need to read about the ISO9660
format

depends on the data you copy to the dvd it might render unusable if you
would expect it to behave as data on a normal filesystem

I've not worked with cd/DVD file systems for
many years now, bu I
think there was extention to overcome such limitation.
I would try to create iso image first and inspect it via loop
mount.

Using K3B produces a DVD with a single directory with all the files
and sub directories intact. So from that point of view the data has
been backed up, but unfortunately where the files have come from is
lost. So unless I create an included note of where they come from, I
can't put the data back into the right place.
Thanks:
