I have a bash script which creates a snapshot of MySQL databases using mysqldump and places this and selected files & directories (both VFAT & ext3) into a tar archive, creates a ISO image of this using mkisofs and burns the result to a CD using cdrecord. Quick & easy to use, my recommended solution. Cheers Ross Drummond
