Hi Leon.
I don't expect to keep the same DVD backup set for more than
~12 months. I just make periodic backups from my dedicated
backup drive to DVD/CDs, to get the data away from the PC
and onto something hopefully more permanent than HDD's.
Usually I can restore straight from the backup drive
in the PC. I may have used the CD/DVD media when 3 HDD's
decided to fail at around the same time.
Here's the script's I wrote in PHP to be run by cron in the
early hours of the morning, and posted on the Fedora
forum.
