>From my experience, CD-RW is a good option for backing up small operations, typically just the data, not the OS itself. But, if you want to do OS and data backups, best to store to tape as they can hold more per backup. CD-RW is usually good for those systems that don't have too much data, etc. In short, the answer to that question is survey your own backup needs and see if you could effectively use CD-RW backup. -- Jonathan M.
