lets say you have a spare disk or a disk (partition) you call /mnt/BACKUP
full backups
tar zcvf /mnt/BACKUP/date.tgz /home/mingsun
incremental backups
find /home/mingsun -mtime -7 \( -type -f -o -type l \) \
tar zcvf /mnt/BACKUP/date.7days.tgz -T -
change "-7" to be "-3" if you wanna do a 3 day incremental backup
and do all that from cron ...

make a cd of all the data previously backedup
mkisofs [options] -o backup.iso /mnt/BACKUP/*.tgz
options are:
-- you want to use long file names
-- you want to name the cd
-- you want to version the cd
-- you want to say its "/home/mingsun" ..
....

you have to read the man pages for 10 years to understand all the
gazillion options and find example command lines in some other howtos

detail info ... requires additional stimuli to figure out if things
are sticking, absorbed and processing or if it's flying high past the
boundries outside the gray matter :-)
