We are using a PC as a print/file server. We do this, so we can print from Linux, Unix, Windows, Novell, and MacOS and have them all use the same spool, and also have them all be able to use the same shared directory. I've had this machine set-up before with Mandrake 7.1, and all these things

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.
