[expert] My tape drive died!

[James Little]

I don't want to shell out for a new one right now.  I don't back up the
whole hard drive, just the important stuff about once a month.  Would it be
possible to dump to a CD-RW or even a CD-R?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.  I'm not great on scripts, so if you know please be specific.
Thanx.
