Most CD writers have software that supports packet writing. This permits
having the CDR look like a writeable drive to the computer, and lets you
write single files to the CD without having to close it. You could probably
use one CD for a whole year. Just make sure it is readable in another
machine and put it in a safe place every night. It's best to have more than
one piece of backup media and rotate them so that one is off premise in case
of something like a fire.

What is the best system currently for backing up small amount of
business stuff frequently (i.e. everyday). My girlfriends office was broken
into, they stole the computer, and the secretary had not backed up anything
in over a month. They need to back up daily about 10 - 20 K (yes, K!) of
data. It seems rather wasteful to use cd's, and zip diskd are so notoriously
unreliable that I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. Are tape
drives still in use? Floppies? Taking pictures of each screen with a K2 and
a supertak 50mm f1.2 onto Kodachrome 25? Any suggestions...
