Re: [opensuse] About Backing Up

I have seen advice on listservs not to back up to a CD ROM. I never understood why. Why is it a bad idea to use CDROMS as storage media?

The only reason I can think of is capacity. However that depends on what you're backing up. If a full system, then it's insufficient. If a home directory, then it may be OK. If you use single use CD-R, then you'll likely have several generations of backup available, unless you toss them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
