There are several possibilities. The hard way? :-)
1. Record on CD-R(W)
a) FreeBSD's burncd
% burncd -e -v -s 16 -f /dev/acd0 data cdr.iso fixate
b) The port cdrtools (includes cdrecord)
% cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=16 -v -eject -tao -data cdr.iso
2. Record on DVD+-*/R(W)
The port dvd+rw-tools (includes growisofs)
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=cdr.iso
This example implies the following setting in /etc/devfs.conf:
link cd0 dvd
Alter device to fit your needs.
As aleays, check the manpages. They're helpful and include kind-of
copy & paste examples.
Note that 1 b) and 2 need atapicam (in kernel or via kldload).
For 1 b), you can check which SCSI ID corresponds to your recorder
using the command
% camcontrol devlist
Have in mind that permissions have to be set correctly in order to
access these devices for writing. It's intended to be that way. :-)
Finally, check the optimal writing speed for your CDs and DVDs.

These platforms will read everything that has been mentioned in
this thread already, because they're real operating systems (and
not excuses for being none). :-)
I think the ISO-9660 + RockRidge is the most comfortable way for
what you intend - allthough the tar method (or even the UFS method)
won't be any problem here. But as I said, maximum compatibility is
always welcome for backups.
