[KLUG Members] Backup solution

[Scott Thurmond]

Hi all.  I am looking for a backup solution to my home Linux box.  I have a
CD-RW and I was hoping I could use that to store my backups.  Right now, I
have very little to backup - all my user files fit on a floppy after I tar
and compress it.  That doesn't include the configuration files and such
though.  Anyway, I have a script that runs in the middle of the night that
gets all my data, tars and compresses it and writes it to a floppy.

What I want to do is keep generations of the files - maybe a weeks worth.

"Get to the point...."  ok, ok.  I am looking for command line tools to
prepare the CD for writing and write the data.  Each night I want to roll
off the oldest backup ad add the current day's data.  Can you help me?
