I use the Make CD Recovery program (http://mkcdrec.ota.be/). What it does is allow me to make a Multi-CD, bootable backup of my Debian filesystem. So, in the case of disaster recovery I can boot from disk one and reinstall the whole thing from the CDs. At my current fs size of 3Gb this fits on 5 CD's, at 20p a disk this costs me about 1 of your english quids per backup. I guess I could use CD-RW's but I ain't too bothered about it. Make CD Revovery _might_ do compression if you need it though to cut down on the number of disks - but I've never checked. Hope this is useful for you, anyone else use this system? Thoughts anyone?
