So here is the right syntax finally;

today=`date '+%Y%m%d'`

mkisofs -R -J -m '*~' -m '.mozilla/firefox/ffp616ct.default/Cache/*'
-o backup.iso \
-graft-points "$today"/etc=/etc \
"$today"/home/user=/home/user \
"$today"/var/cache/apt=/var/cache/apt \
/etc /home/user /var/cache/apt

NB mkisofs is a symlink to genisoimage. The name mkisofs is a habit
with me I'm afraid.
