You are of course assuming that the house doesnt burn down when the
computer goes up in flames, burning my collection of CDRWs ;-

hi y chris...
have a look at the existing backup scripts that makes cdrw
you should do daily incrementals and weekly full backups..
where the incremental also span multiple full backups
as backups do fail due to full disks... ( aint backed up
cause you didnt check there was space available )

Hello chris,
Does not sound *mad* so it must be sane.. I would however think it may be a
tad easier for you to install a secondary hard drive for nightly backups and
then burn a single weekly CDRW. That way, you can keep the second hard drive
unmounted until it's needed, then as cron start
and backuping
every day, adding one new cd-rw every week and archiving the oldest cd-rw at
the same time.
Hope this helps,
Nico

Hi,
I've been thinking about something over the last few
days and was wondering if it classifies as "sane" -
opinions please!
I have about 500Mb of variable data (theres only 4
console only users and we arent mp3 freaks!) and a
CDRW. Would it be worth setting up a script+cron
job to do the follo
