Hello Sluggers,
I will like an advise on a backup system, I need to back up about 300GB now
and in about 11 months time, it will add up to 4/5 TerraB. This data needs
to be kept safe for about 3 years. And there after it will be the same every
year or potentially increase by about 30% or more.

Hi Savanna
Very easy to do under linux. Grab the latest version of cbq.init from
ftp.equinox.gu.net/pub/linux/cbq/ and also a copy of the linux advanced routing

contains all setup doco (or did at v0.6.2)

for RH 8.0, if it's xcdroast you're using, it uses
cdrecord to do the burning, so for me:
# l /usr/bin/cdrecord
308 -rws--x---1 root xcdwrite 308809 Nov 26 22:01
/usr/bin/cdrecord
so find the group called xcdwrite is /etc/group and add whatever
users you want, eg.
# grep xcdwrite
