That sounds all fine to me.

Why that? Convert the backup (doesn't have to be done every other day,
does it? ;-)) and reburn it to the CD is what I would do.

That sounds great but how would that be transparent to the user?  For
example, what about the situation I mentioned earlier where a.htm is in
the cache but the embedded b.GIF is not?  Quite honestly, I am not sure
I understand how and why you want to introduce wget into the situation.
