Hi all,

I am looking for a backup program that can back up to my DVD+-R/RW drive

programs would you recommend to handle this task?

TIA James Wall

You can try k3b

Well, that's not a backup app. But anyway, I don't use a "backup app" either. I just tar.lzma the whole thing and burn it :P

My bad :( I thought it is the program to write to DVD.
I am not sure what you want. In my case, I combine a bash script to compress, rsync ... with cron to do the back up weekly. It seem to be quite convenient.

If you have big files using rar is faster and save more space than tar.
