Hi everyone
I was wondering if I could fit in my backup server 2 (4 would be great) DVD-RW drives? Well I know I can, but could I use them at the same time? I have like 500GB per month to backup, and not so much time on my hands, and a box full of DVD-RW disk... I usually use K3B to burn my backups. The backup server is a standard consumer level PC, nothing fancy.
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.

Thanks
