Subject: Looking for a backup to CD-R(W) program


-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello list,

        I am looking for recommendations for software to backup my
debian (sarge) machine to my cd burner.  As this is my home machine, I
don't think I need the client-server functionality of amanda or some of
the other backup packages... I'm just looking for something that can do
full and incremental backups of selected filesystems to CD in a quick
and simple manner.

----
I have used cdbackup/cdrestore debs with no problems either backing up or
restoring.  I've had problems with the cddump utility used, but only because
of the long path/filenames that Microsoft Internet Explorer uses to save
cookies when using roaming profiles with samba.

I now use a DLT and just use tar.  Much quicker and easier.  If you are the
sysadmin of a large network - go the tape.  CD-RW's are only practical for
home/small business use.

Thanks for your help!
