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
