Well, most likely you use cellphone... but if you have the computer switched on all day long you can also try and do it yourself. You may already have all the software that you need to make it work, it's done by you, it's highly customisable, and above all it's more fun.

  Hi, this short tutorial aims to be a guide for those who would like to back up a DVD using Linux. If you like nice and clear GUIs I suggest you to use the excellent Handbrake, but if you are interested in understanding what really happens when ripping a DVD and have complete control over the operation you will find this guide quite useful.
