[ale] quick, simple backup

[Jerry Yu]

	I'd go with CD-RW. You can add  one session to the CD-RW media for 
a daily back-ups. Four or 5 CD-RW media cover one-month 
worth of backups. After one-month, you start to reuse 1st CD-RW then the 
2nd in the CDRW set.  Do the same multi-session for weekly or monthly 
backup, only this time on  a CD-R media.  
This scheme is pretty  scalable too, considering the 
current backup is 100MB vs a cdrw media of 700M.

#1) CD-RW ( cheap media, but has to be blanked prior to write )

#2) Zip 250 ( modest media cost, proprietary )

#3) other ?
