If you look at Marcel Gagné's book `Linux System Administration, A User's Guide,' you'll find that he provides, in the chapter on `Backups and Restores,' a very simple shell-script which backs up selected directories to a storage area on disk, and then burns a CD image. It's very, very easy to customize this script to your needs. The whole book is excellent, Jim
