I burn my backups to regular single-layer DVD's once in a while. DVD+RW is what I use, but now it looks like I'm flirting with their limit in terms of capacity..
In the long run, this probably means that I need to review my backup policies, maybe separating /home from the rest of the system, but this has made me curious as to what dual-layer DVD burners/media may offer. I didn't find much in terms of easy-to-digest documentation, and I'm under the impression that dual-layer DVD's are WORM-only.. IOW multiple writes are not supported (?). Sounds like they're meant for audio/video stuff rather than really useful as a backup medium, no? Do some of you people still use DVD's as an external medium for backups..? Has anyone run into this problem and come up with a solution that's practical, simple, and elegant?
