As a further refinement, assuming that the amount of data being backed
up is a fraction of the size of the CD, one could specify that one is
writing to a multiple session CD in TAO mode. This may not work with
all cd writers, though.
This way one could have, say, a week's backups on one CD.
(The last session has to fixate the CD, so the cron job on the last
day would have to be different.
The backups are going to be about 10 megs tops - it's the attendance and
sales data for a small swimschool. In any case, I was hoping to back up
at midnight, and then each morning swap out the current CD for one that
was used 3 days ago, the current one being put into our new fire safe.
That way, even if there was a fire the most we would lose is the current
day - we'd have yesterday's backup to work from.
