There is a nice utility I use in linux that will back my data to a
Ext2 CD. I would like to be able to restore the data to either
linux or Windows 2000 systems. I have not been able to find anything to do
it and wonder if I am the first person to ever try to read an Ext2
cd in windows.

Regards;

I tried google the problem is that every utility I have found writes to
an Ext2 hard drive partition just fine. This does not help me out because
I need to read from a CD Rom. I have checked out two free products and
tried and recived technical support on a commercial product. Everybody
says that they can not read from an Ext2 CD rom.

I know people are going to tell me " a device is a device" and this will
work. The problem is that my system and the people who write the software
say they can not do it.

so that means you need another solution. if you back up your data to a
cdrom with an iso9660 file system with both joliet and rock ridge
extensions, you'll be able to read it on windows and linux without
problems. although you'll probably need a different backup procedure...
