I have successfully burned multiple CD's - so in theory it should work
providing that the box can be put into a quiescent state.
I have 160 gigs or so at home. I solved my backup problems by
installing an extra 160G disk that is unmounted. I wrote a script
that runs each evening, mounts the disk, and rsyncs the backup
data. I will soon be changing it to use rsnapshot which will give
me several weeks(maybe months) of historical backup. I'm in a position
where I can keep a 3rd copy of the data rsync'ed to an offsite machine.
I deem this to be sufficient for my needs.
