Hello,

I would like to start making periodic backups to CD. I know I can make a 
tarball, and then create an iso with just that tarball on it, and then 
burn that to a cd, but is there a better way?

Specifically, I have read the into to backups in the Handbook and it 
says that dump/restore is superior to tar, but it looks like dump was 
only intended for tape drives. Am I reading this right?

Thank You.
