There's a package called
scdbackup
(Simple CD Backup)
that does exactly this and does a lovely job of it.
http://scdbackup.linuxave.net/
I've been meaning to package this up for Mandrake for some time now, but
I keep not quite getting around to it. I'll try to get to it soon!
(Actually, I haven't checked lately; for all the more I know somebody
else has gotten to it since I last checked.)
