Hello list,
I am looking for recommendations for software to backup my
debian (sarge) machine to my cd burner. As this is my home machine, I
don't think I need the client-server functionality of amanda or some of
the other backup packages... I'm just looking for something that can do
full and incremental backups of selected filesystems to CD in a quick
and simple manner.

I have used cdbackup/cdrestore debs with no problems either backing up or
restoring. I've had problems with the cddump utility used, but only because
of the long path/filenames that Microsoft Internet Explorer uses to save
cookies when using roaming profiles with samba.
I now use a DLT and just use tar. Much quicker and easier. If you are the
sysadmin of a large network - go the tape. CD-RW's are only practical for
home/small business use.

Thanks for your help!
