I have a CD-R drive, but I don't use it for AIDE. Instead, I keep my
(otherwise-unused) floppy drive with an AIDE floppy in it always mounted
as read-only. When I need to update the AIDE database, I re-mount the
floppy as read-write, make the update, then remount it as read-only.
This leaves the CD-R free for other tasks (like backups) but keeps the
AIDE database relatively safe.
