thanks to those who replied to my post about backing up to cds, i have found a prog called scdbackup http://scdbackup.webframe.org/scdbackup-0.7.1.tar.gz it seems to do what i want except that the searchable list of backed up files is kept on the cds which is not what exactly what i wanted, but it does do incremental backups, i found the documentation confusing - i think because it seems very exhaustive - and it installs in an odd manner compared to that which i'm used to, wherever you extract the above file to is important since you run a configuration program within that directory which although it puts scripts into /usr/local or wherever you chose, they call other scripts in that untarred directory; any way, i'm on cd 3 of 18 so i thought i'd mention this in case other folk find it useful
