harder copies soft media, like CDs and DVDs, to your hard drive.

Goals:

• minimal user input
• autodetect cd/dvd changes
• prioritize expediency and resiliency over disk space efficiency

harder --destination

System configuration:

Install harder, and find out where your system Python put it:

which harder
> /usr/local/bin/harder

Using this page as a starting point:

cd /etc/udev/rules.d

We need to create a new file in this folder that runs before the others:

sudo vim 10-harder.rules

Insert the following text:

KERNEL=="sr[0-9]", ACTION=="change", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_CD}=="1", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/harder --type cd --destination /backups/harder"
KERNEL=="sr[0-9]", ACTION=="change", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_AUDIO}=="1", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/harder --type cda --destination /backups/harder"
KERNEL=="sr[0-9]", ACTION=="change", ENV{ID_CDROM_MEDIA_DVD}=="1", RUN+="/usr/local/bin/harder --type dvd --destination /backups/harder"

It seems the following ENV{ID_CDROM_???} boolean variables will be available:

• ID_CDROM_MEDIA_BD: Blu-ray
• ID_CDROM_MEDIA_DVD: DVD
• ID_CDROM_MEDIA_CD: CD
• ID_CDROM_MEDIA_TRACK_COUNT_AUDIO: AUDIO CD

• Writing udev rules
