Optical media storage is a PITA for big amounts of data (it's very slow and hard to manage when you intend to do rewrite operations). > What is a good program to do this with?

MondoMindi supports CD/DVD though is usually for cloning rather than backups. Then there are the usual GUI based tools such as dkopp, fwbackups, simple backup, kbackup, box backup... and backup2l, backup-manager or backupninja (command line) which seem to be specifically for CD/DVD although I would still prefer a simple tar script :-) Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
