This is very, very good advice. The one question I had when reading it
was to what extent this faithfully recorded all the metadata for the
files that are selected. But I answered that via the xorriso(1) manpage,
and "-for_backup" selects all the necessary extensions etc. to do the
best job possible.

So, +1 for this approach - *especially* the -check_md5 step.
